EZEKIEL 46:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.”
When the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering or a peace offering as a freewill offering to the Lord, the gate that faces east shall be opened for him; and he shall offer his burnt offering or his peace offering as he does on the Sabbath day; then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out'—establishing that the prince may make freewill offerings in addition to obligatory offerings and specifying that such offerings are made through the eastern gate. The allowance of freewill offerings permits personal devotion beyond requirements. This verse establishes procedures for votive offerings.
