Ezekiel 44:1

The Closed Gate

44:1 Then he brought me back by way of the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces east, but it was shut.

Ezekiel 46:1

The Prince’s Offerings

46:1 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: The gate of the inner court that faces east ²  will be closed six working days, but on the Sabbath day it will be opened and on the day of the new moon it will be opened.

¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “the one threshold 10½ feet deep.” This is probably an accidental duplication of what precedes. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:517.

² sn The east gate of the outer court was permanently closed (Ezek 44:2).
