Ezekiel 46:2,3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without The prince shall go through the outer gate of that court, and so pass to the inner gate, where he may see the whole service performed at the altar. And shall stand by the post of the gate That is, by the entrance of the gate, where there was a seat prepared for him: see note on Ezekiel 44:2. And the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering Or, offer his burnt-offering, as the original word often signifies. And he shall worship at the threshold of the gate By bowing his head, bowing down his face to the ground, or falling down upon the ground, as the posture of divine worship is elsewhere described. But the gate shall not be shut until the evening Because the people were to pay their solemn worship in the same place, as is prescribed in the following verse. Likewise the people shall worship at the door of this gate Here the inner porch of the east gate is assigned for their station, who came to present themselves before the Lord upon the solemn festivals, and they were to come no further into the inner court.
