“‘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. See also: Isaiah 66:23Ezekiel 44:1-2Ezekiel 8:16The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. See also: Ezekiel 44:3Ezekiel 46:8Colossians 1:28The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the new moons. See also: Luke 1:10Hebrews 10:19-22John 10:9The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to the LORD shall be on the Sabbath day, six lambs without defect and a ram without defect; See also: Ezekiel 45:17Numbers 28:9-10and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. See also: Ezekiel 45:24Ezekiel 46:7Numbers 28:12On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without defect, six lambs, and a ram. They shall be without defect. See also: Ezekiel 46:1He shall prepare a meal offering: an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah. See also: Ezekiel 46:5When the prince enters, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by its way. See also: Ezekiel 46:2Colossians 1:18Ezekiel 44:1-3“‘“But when the people of the land come before the LORD in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate. He shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out straight before him. See also: Deuteronomy 16:162 Peter 2:20-21Philippians 3:13-14The prince shall go in with them when they go in. When they go out, he shall go out. See also: Psalms 42:41 Chronicles 29:201 Chronicles 29:22“‘“In the feasts and in the appointed holidays, the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah. See also: Ezekiel 46:5Ezekiel 46:7Numbers 28:1-29When the prince prepares a free will offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a free will offering to the LORD, one shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out; and after his going out one shall shut the gate. See also: Ezekiel 45:17Ezekiel 46:1-22 Chronicles 29:31“‘“You shall prepare a lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering to the LORD daily. Morning by morning you shall prepare it. See also: Isaiah 50:4Numbers 28:3-8Exodus 12:5You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to the LORD continually by a perpetual ordinance. See also: Numbers 28:5Thus they shall prepare the lamb, the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.” See also: Hebrews 10:1-10Exodus 29:42Hebrews 7:27“‘The Lord GOD says: “If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It shall belong to his sons. It is their possession by inheritance. See also: 2 Chronicles 21:3Galatians 4:7Psalms 37:18But if he gives of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons. See also: Leviticus 25:10Galatians 4:30-31Matthew 25:14-29Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not each be scattered from his possession.”’” See also: Ezekiel 45:8Ezekiel 22:271 Kings 21:19Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north. Behold, there was a place on the back part westward. See also: Ezekiel 42:9Ezekiel 40:44-46Ezekiel 44:4-5He said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the meal offering, that they not bring them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.” See also: 2 Chronicles 35:13Ezekiel 44:19Ezekiel 44:29Then he brought me out into the outer court and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court. In the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, forty cubits long and thirty wide. These four in the corners were the same size. There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around. Then he said to me, “These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.” See also: Ezekiel 46:201 Peter 5:2Matthew 24:45

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Ezekiel 46:2
Ver. 2. Prince. After the captivity, although the race of David continued in Salathiel, Zorobabel,
&c. yet they had not the state of kings. Hence Christians, R. David and other Jews, understand this of the Messias and the rites of his Church, with a literal allusion to the old law. W. ---

Ver. 4. Six. Moses only prescribed two lambs for every day. Num. xxviii. 9.
↑ 4Ezekiel 46:5
Ver. 5. Sacrifice. See C. xlv. 24. Flour and oil accompanied the victim. When lambs were presented, this was left to the prince's devotion (v. 7. and 11. C.) only. If he gave three or four ephies of flour, he must give as many hins of oil.

Ver. 9. It, perhaps to avoid confusion, (M.) and turning the back on the temple, (C.) or to exercise their obedience. As many might enter by one gate as by another, and thus the concourse would not be diminished. H.
↑ 9Ezekiel 46:10
Ver. 10. Out. The prince went in and out by the same gate, (v. 8.) and might order that on the east to be opened when he had to offer a voluntary sacrifice.
In other respects he was like a simple Israelite, and was to attend the temple and use the same gates as the rest. Before, the kings had a gate on the west leading to their palace. But this was no longer to subsist, and the palace was to be far removed. C. xlviii. 21.

Lev. xxv. 10. C. --- This insinuates that works done by the true children of God, in the state of grace, merit an eternal reward, while moral good works performed in the state of sin, can only have a temporal one. W.

Ver. 19. Gate, on the north. C. xliv. 4. --- West. At this corner was the kitchen for victims, which could only be eaten in the inner court. If they had been brought into that without, the people would have become unclean; as it is equally wrong to touch holy or impure things when they are forbidden. C. xliv. 19.
There were four other kitchens for the people who might choose to eat their peace-offerings. v. 24. C.
