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 he must offer a young bull that has nothing wrong with it. He must also offer six lambs and a male sheep that have nothing wrong with them.

7 The ruler must give a half-bushel grain offering with the bull and one-half bushel with the male sheep. With the lambs, he may give as much grain as he pleases. But he must give a gallon of olive oil for each half bushel of grain.

8 When the ruler enters, he must go in through the porch of the gateway, and he must go out the same way.

9 "'When the people of the land come into the Lord's presence at the special feasts, those who enter through the north gate to worship must go out through the south gate. Those who enter through the south gate must go out through the north gate. They must not return the same way they entered; everyone must go out the opposite way.

10 The ruler will go in with the people when they go in and go out with them when they go out.
