1 Then he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Then the Lord said unto me: This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Then he brought me toward the north gate in front of the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord; and I fell upon my face.
5 And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, pay attention, and behold with thine eyes and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and pay attention to the entering in of the house and to every going forth from the sanctuary.
