Ezekiel 44:1-3 ▼

1 And He brought me back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that faced east, and it was shut.

2 And YHWH said to me: “This gate will be kept shut; it shall not be opened, and no man will enter by it, because YHWH, God of Israel has entered by it; and it will be kept shut.

3 The prince—the prince himself—he may sit in it to eat bread before YHWH; by way of the portico of the gateway he will enter, and by its way he will go out.”
