Ezekiel 46:1-15

The Sabbath, New Moon, and Other Festivals. On the Sabbath day, seven animals, besides meal and oil, were to be offered; on the new moon the offering was the same, with the addition of a bullock. The prince, who might not enter into the sacred inner court, watched the sacrifice being offered from his place at the threshold of its eastern gate (Ezekiel 46:1). To prevent confusion the worshippers were obliged to leave the outer court by the opposite gate from that by which they had entered (Ezekiel 46:8 f.). It was the prince's duty to provide for the daily burnt offering. When, in addition to this, he made a free-will offering, the eastern gate of the inner court was opened for him, as on the Sabbath and new moon (Ezekiel 46:11).
