12 "When the prince provides a freewill offering , a burnt offering , or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the Lord , the gate facing east shall be opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day . Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:12

Chapter Summary

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.
