Ezekiel 44:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Prince’s Privilege

44 The man then brought me back toward the sanctuary’s outer gate that faced east, and it was closed. ² The Lord said to me: “This gate will remain closed. It will not be opened, and no one will enter through it, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it.^(A) Therefore it will remain closed. ³ The prince himself will sit in the gateway to eat a meal before the Lord.^(B) He must enter by way of the portico^(C) of the gate and go out the same way.”
