Ezekiel 44:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 The man then brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary that faced east, but it was shut.

2 And the LORD said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It shall not be opened, and no man shall enter through it, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered through it. Therefore it will remain shut.

3 Only the prince himself may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.”
