Ezequiel 46:9

9 “Quando o povo da terra vier perante o SENHOR nas festas fixas, todo aquele que entrar pela porta norte para adorá-lo sairá pela porta sul, e todo aquele que entrar pela porta sul sairá pela porta norte. Ninguém voltará pela porta pela qual entrou, mas todos sairão pela porta oposta.

Ezequiel 46:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 46:9

But when the people of the land shall come before the Lord
in the solemn feasts
To worship the Lord, to pray and praise; to honour the Lord, and keep the solemn feast of love, the Lord's supper: he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go
out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth in by the way
of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate;
that so such as were coming in, and going out, might not meet, and stop and hinder one another in going out and coming in: no mention is made of entering in by the east gate, which was only for the prince, ( Ezekiel 44:1 Ezekiel 44:2 ) , and there was no entering in, or going out, on the west: he shall not return by the way of the gate he came in, but shall go
forth over against it;
signifying, that those that come to the house of God to worship, and join in communion with the saints, should not return to their former ways and practices; to their former rites, customs, and ceremonies in religion, used by them; and to their former principles and errors in doctrines; and to their former sinful courses of life; but go straight on and thorough stitch with it in their profession of Christ and his Gospel, and in the practice of spiritual and evangelic worship; see ( Luke 9:62 ) ( Hebrews 10:38 Hebrews 10:39 ) .

7 Como oferta de cereal ele fornecerá uma arroba com o novilho, uma arroba com o carneiro e com os cordeiros, quanto ele quiser dar, mais um galão de azeite para cada arroba de cereal.

8 Quando o príncipe entrar, ele o fará pelo pórtico da entrada e sairá pelo mesmo caminho.

9 “Quando o povo da terra vier perante o SENHOR nas festas fixas, todo aquele que entrar pela porta norte para adorá-lo sairá pela porta sul, e todo aquele que entrar pela porta sul sairá pela porta norte. Ninguém voltará pela porta pela qual entrou, mas todos sairão pela porta oposta.

10 O príncipe deverá estar no meio deles, entrando quando eles entrarem e saindo quando eles saírem.

11 “Nas festas, inclusive as fixas, a oferta de cereal será de uma arroba com um novilho, uma arroba com um carneiro, e com os cordeiros, quanto ele quiser dar, mais um galão de azeite para cada arroba.
