9 "But when the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed feasts , he who enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate . And he who enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate . No one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered but shall go straight out.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:9
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.
