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.

He must enter through the vestibule of the gateway, and he must go out the same way.”
