Ezekiel 44:1

¹Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east.

¹⁴When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court until they lay their garments in which they minister there; for they are holy. Then they shall put on other garments, and shall approach that which is for the people.”

⁶Then he came to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate, one reed wide; and the other threshold, one reed wide.

¹⁷Then he brought me into the outer court. Behold, there were rooms and a pavement made for the court all around. Thirty rooms were on the pavement.

⁴The LORD’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate which faces toward the east.

⁵Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the LORD’s house, before the new court;

²⁸crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!” ²⁹For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

³⁰All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

⁵He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.

⁹Furthermore he made the court of the priests, the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.

¹“‘The Lord GOD says: “The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
