Unchecked Copy BoxEze 42:13 - Then the man told me, “These rooms that overlook the Temple from the north and south are holy.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 43:4 - And the glory of the LORD came into the Temple through the east gateway.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 44:1 - Then the man brought me back to the east gateway in the outer wall of the Temple area, but it was closed.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 44:3 - Only the prince himself may sit inside this gateway to feast in the LORD's presence. But he may come and go only through the entry room of the gateway.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 44:4 - Then the man brought me through the north gateway to the front of the Temple. I looked and saw that the glory of the LORD filled the Temple of the LORD, and I fell face down on the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 44:5 - And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, take careful notice. Use your eyes and ears, and listen to everything I tell you about the regulations concerning the LORD's Temple. Take careful note of the procedures for using the Temple's entrances and exits.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 45:7 - “Two special sections of land will be set apart for the prince. One section will share a border with the east side of the sacred lands and city, and the second section will share a border on the west side. Then the far eastern and western borders of the prince's lands will line up with the eastern and western boundaries of the tribal areas.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 45:8 - These sections of land will be the prince's allotment. Then my princes will no longer oppress and rob my people; they will assign the rest of the land to the people, giving an allotment to each tribe.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:2 - The prince will enter the entry room of the gateway from the outside. Then he will stand by the gatepost while the priest offers his burnt offering and peace offering. He will bow down in worship inside the gateway passage and then go back out the way he came. The gateway will not be closed until evening.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:3 - The common people will bow down and worship the LORD in front of this gateway on Sabbath days and the days of new moon celebrations.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:8 - “The prince must enter the gateway through the entry room, and he must leave the same way.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:9 - But when the people come in through the north gateway to worship the LORD during the religious festivals, they must leave by the south gateway. And those who entered through the south gateway must leave by the north gateway. They must never leave by the same gateway they came in, but must always use the opposite gateway.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:19 - In my vision, the man brought me through the entrance beside the gateway and led me to the sacred rooms assigned to the priests, which faced toward the north. He showed me a place at the extreme west end of these rooms.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:21 - Then he brought me back to the outer courtyard and led me to each of its four corners. In each corner I saw an enclosure.
