ORDINANCES FOR THE PRINCE AND THE PRIESTS. (Eze. 44:1-31)
shut . . . not be opened— (Job 12:14; Isaiah 22:22; Revelation 3:7). "Shut" to the people (Exodus 19:21-22), but open to "the prince" (Ezekiel 44:3), he holding the place of God in political concerns, as the priests do in spiritual. As a mark of respect to an Eastern monarch, the gate by which he enters is thenceforth shut to all other persons (compare Exodus 19:24).
