The prince's specific mode of worship entry and departure during open-gate times.
What Does Ezekiel 46:2 Mean?
The prince has a special role in this vision—neither a king over Israel nor a priest over the sanctuary, but a leader who participates in both functions. He approaches from outside, through the proper entrance, establishing order and obedience to prescribed ways.
His offerings include both burnt offerings (complete consecration) and peace offerings (communion and fellowship). His worship at the threshold—not inside—reflects a representative position bridging the people and the holy realm.
