Notes

Ezekiel 46:9–10

During religious festivals, the people would present themselves before the Lord. They would walk through the temple from north to south or south to north, with the prince among them. They moved along the ordinary north-south path, not the sacred east-west path used by the priests.

Ezekiel 46:1–15

Ezekiel described the prince's duties during special celebrations, including Sabbaths and new moon events. The prince represented the people in worship. He joined them in a procession through the temple and had the unique ability to approach the sacred area for them.
