Ezekiel 46 · Grade 4
At the Door of the Gate
Read and Think
In the vision, the gate of the inner court facing east would be shut during the six working days. On the Sabbath and on the new moon it would be opened. The prince would enter through the porch and stand by the gatepost while the priests offered his sacrifices, and he would worship at the threshold.
The people of the land would worship at the door of that gate before Yahweh on the Sabbaths and new moons. At the appointed feasts, whoever came in by the north gate would go out by the south gate. No one would return by the gate he entered. The prince would go in and out with the people.
A lamb would be offered every morning as a continual burnt offering. The prince could give land to his sons as an inheritance, but he could not take the people's land. Last, the man showed Ezekiel the kitchens where the offerings were boiled.

Worship happened every morning and on special days. How can you make worship a regular part of your life?
