Yechezkel 46:3 Meaning and Commentary

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. The allusion is to the people of Israel meeting at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, ( Exodus 29:42 ) : "in the sabbaths, and in the new moons"; at their stated weekly and monthly meetings; see ( Isaiah 66:23 ) .

Yechezkel 46:3 In-Context

1 6 Thus saith Adonoi Hashem: The Sha’ar HeKhatzer HaPenimit that looketh toward the east shall be shut during the sheshet yemei hama’aseh (the six days of labor); but on Shabbos it shall be opened, and in the yom of the Rosh Chodesh it shall be opened.

2 And the Nasi shall enter by the derech ulam haSha’ar from without, and shall stand by the mezuzat HaSha’ar, and the Kohanim shall prepare his Olah (burnt offering) and his Shelamim, and he shall worship at the threshold of the Sha’ar; then he shall go out; but the Sha’ar shall not be shut until the erev.

3 Likewise the Am HaAretz shall worship at the Petach HaSha’ar before Hashem in the Shabbatot and in Rosh Chodesh.

4 And the Olah that the Nasi shall offer unto Hashem in the Yom HaShabbos shall be six kevasim temimim, and a ram without blemish.

5 And the minchah shall be an ephah for a ram, and the minchah for the kevasim whatever his hand gives, and a hin of shemen to an ephah.
