“And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, 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 forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.”
The prince shall enter by the vestibule of the gate from outside, and shall take his stand by the post of the gate. The priests shall offer his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate, then go out; but the gate shall not be shut until evening'—specifying the prince's mode of entry and worship. The prince's distinctive position (at the gate threshold, not within the sanctuary proper) emphasizes his status between the people and the priest. The evening closing indicates extended observance. This verse describes the prince's Sabbath worship.
