Ezekiel 44:1
The Scripture
(1) Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Ezekiel 44 describes the sanctuary's east gate, kept shut because the Lord entered through it, now reserved for the prince alone. It condemns the Levites who once strayed after idols, limiting their duties, while the faithful sons of Zadok are granted to minister as priests. The chapter closes with specific rules for the Zadokite priests covering dress, conduct, marriage, and their handling of holy offerings.
