Ezekiel 46:3

Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door
of this gate before the Lord
Publicly, and in a spiritual manner; attending the ministration of the word and ordinances with constancy and fervency; praying to God, praising his name, and hearing his word with attention; and performing all the duties of religious worship.

Ezekiel 46:3 In-Context

1 "'Message from God, the Master: The gate of the inside courtyard on the east is to be shut on the six working days, but open on the Sabbath. It is also to be open on the New Moon.

2 The prince will enter through the entrance area of the gate complex and stand at the gateposts as the priests present his burnt offerings and peace offerings while he worships there on the porch. He will then leave, but the gate won't be shut until evening.

3 On Sabbaths and New Moons, the people are to worship before God at the outside entrance to that gate complex.

4 "'The prince supplies for God the burnt offering for the Sabbath - six unblemished lambs and an unblemished ram.

5 The grain offering to go with the ram is about five and a half gallons plus a gallon of oil, and a handful of grain for each lamb.
