3 The Regent[a] Prince[b] will be seated there,[c] as Regent Prince, and will dine in the Lord’s presence, entering through the portico of the gate and exiting through it also.”
The Front of the Temple
4 Then he brought me through the north-facing gate to the front of the Temple. As I looked, the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’s Temple, and I fell flat on my face! 5 Then the Lord told me, “Son of Man, watch carefully,[d] listen closely,[e] and remember[f] everything I’m going to be telling you about all the statutes pertaining to the Lord’s Temple and all of its laws. Pay careful attention to the entrance to the Temple, along with all of the exits from the sanctuary.”
