Ezekiel 44:1-3

International Children’s Bible

The Outer East Gate

44 Then the man brought me back to the outer east gate of the Temple area. The gate was shut. ² The Lord said to me, “This gate will stay shut. It will not be opened. No one may enter through it. This is because the Lord God of Israel has entered through it. So it must stay shut. ³ Only the ruler himself may sit in the gateway to eat bread before the Lord. He must enter through the porch of the gateway and go out the same way.”
