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.

7 He will also supply five and a half gallons of grain offering and a gallon of oil for both ram and bull, and a handful of grain offering for each lamb.
8 "'When the prince enters, he will go through the entrance vestibule of the gate complex and leave the same way.
9 "'But when the people of the land come to worship God at the commanded feasts, those who enter through the north gate will exit from the south gate, and those who enter though the south gate will exit from the north gate.
