Ezekiel 46:2

The Manner of Worship

1 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six ^aworking days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.

2 ^aThe prince shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening.

3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the Lord on the Sabbaths and the New Moons.

4 The burnt offering that ^athe prince offers to the Lord on the ^bSabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish;

5 ^aand the grain offering shall be one ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for the lambs,¹ as much as he wants to give, as well as a hin of oil with every ephah.

6 On the day of the New Moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish.

Ezekiel 46:1-24

- The ordinances of worship for the prince and for the people, are here described, and the gifts the prince may bestow on his sons and servants. Our Lord has directed us to do many duties, but he has also left many things to our choice, that those who delight in his commandments may abound therein to his glory, without entangling their own consciences, or prescribing rules unfit for others; but we must never omit our daily worship, nor neglect to apply the sacrifice of the Lamb of God to our souls, for pardon, peace, and salvation.
