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 The Lord God saith these things, The gate of the inner foreyard, that beholdeth to the east, shall be closed six days in which work is done; for it shall be opened in the day of sabbath, but also it shall be opened in the day of calends. (The Lord God saith these things, The gate of the inner courtyard, that faceth east, shall be closed for the six days in which work is done; it shall be opened only on the day of sabbath, and on the day of calends.)

2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate withoutforth, and he shall stand in the threshold of the gate; and priests shall make the burnt sacrifice of him, and the peaceable sacrifices of him; and he shall worship on the threshold of the gate, and he shall go out; forsooth the gate shall not be closed till to the eventide. (And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from the outside, and he shall stand at the gate's threshold; and the priests shall offer his burnt sacrifice, and his peace offerings; and he shall worship at the gate's threshold, and then he shall go out; and the gate shall not be closed until the evening.)
