Ezekiel 44:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Prince

44 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faces east, but it was closed. ² The Lord said to me, “This gate must remain closed and not be opened. No man may enter through it, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore, it is to remain closed. ³ The prince, because he is the prince, may sit in it to eat food in the presence of the Lord. He must enter through the vestibule of the gateway, and he must go out the same way.”
