Ezekiel 46:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 46:8

And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of
the porch of that gate (See Gill on Ezekiel 46:2); and he shall go forth by the way thereof;
the same way he came in, he shall go out; not so the people; and, to introduce the manner of their going in and out, this is repeated concerning the prince.

Ezekiel 46:8 In-Context

6 On the day of the New Moon, [the burnt offering] is to be a young, unblemished bull, as well as six lambs and a ram without blemish.

7 He will provide a grain offering of half a bushel with the bull, half a bushel with the ram, and whatever he can afford with the lambs, together with a gallon of oil for every half bushel.

8 When the prince enters, he must go in by way of the gate's portico and go out the same way.

9 "When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed times, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship must go out by way of the south gate, and whoever enters by way of the south gate must go out by way of the north gate. No one must return through the gate by which he entered, but must go out by the opposite gate.

10 When the people enter, the prince will enter with them, and when they leave, he will leave.
