Context of Ezekiel 46:8
6On the day of the New Moon it will be a young bull without blemish, six lambs and a ram—they must be without blemish. 7He will prepare a grain offering, an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram, for the lambs whatever his hand may reach and a hin of oil for an ephah. When the prince enters, he will enter by way of the porch of the gate and he will also exit by that way. 9When the people of the land come before Adonai at the moadim, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship will exit by way of the south gate. Whoever enters by way of the south gate must exit by way of north gate. He should not return by the way of the gate where he came in, since he must exit straight ahead. 10When they enter, the prince will come in among them. When they go out, they will go out together.
