Ezekiel 44:1-3

1 Then he brought me back by way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, the one facing east; and it was shut.
2 ADONAI said to me, "This gate will remain shut; it will not be opened, and no one will go through it; because ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, has gone through it. Therefore, it is to be kept shut.
3 Only the prince, since he is a prince, is to sit there to eat his meal before ADONAI; he is to enter through the vestibule of the gate and leave the same way."
