- "And he commandedª° them, saying,ª° This¹ [is] the thingª that¹ ye shall do;ª° A third partª of¹ you that enter¹ in²° on the sabbathª shall even be keepersª° of the watchª of the king'sª house;ª ... And a third partª [shall be] at the gateª of Sur;ª and a third partª at the gateª behindª the guard:ª° so shall ye keepª°¹ the watchª of the house,ª that it be not broken down.ª" {2Kg 11:5-6} + "Then saidª° the LORDª unto¹ me; This¹ gateª shall be¹ shut,ª° it shall not¹ be opened,ª° and no¹ manª shall enter²° in¹ by it; because¹ the LORD,ª the Godª of Israel,ª hath entered²° in¹ by it, therefore it shall be¹ shut.ª° ... [It is]¹ for the prince;ª the prince,ª he¹ shall sitª° in it to eatª° breadª beforeª the LORD;ª he shall enterª° by the wayª¹ of the porchª of [that] gate,ª and shall go outª° by the wayª¹ of the same." {Ezk 44:2-3} + "And the princeª shall enterª° by the wayª of the porchª of [that] gateª without,ª¹ and shall standª° by¹ the postª of the gate,ª and the priestsª shall prepareª°¹ his burnt offeringª and his peace offerings,ª and he shall worshipª° at¹ the thresholdª of the gate:ª then he shall go forth;ª° but the gateª shall not¹ be shutª° until¹ the evening.ª ... Likewise the peopleª of the landª shall worshipª° at the doorª of this¹ gateª beforeª the LORDª in the sabbathsª and in the new moons.ª" {Ezk 46:2-3}
