Ezekiel 44:1-3

Then the man brought me back to the outside gate complex of the Sanctuary that faces east. But it was shut. GOD spoke to me: “This gate is shut and it’s to stay shut. No one is to go through it because GOD, the God of Israel, has gone through it. It stays shut. Only the prince, because he’s the prince, may sit there to eat in the presence of GOD. He is to enter the gate complex through the porch and leave by the same way.”
