2
The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, 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 out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 2. Prince. After the captivity, although the race of David continued in Salathiel, Zorobabel, and so forth yet they had not the state of kings. Hence Christians, R. David and other Jews, understand this of the Messias and the rites of his Church, with a literal allusion to the old law. Worthington.—Without, not proceeding into the court of the priests. Calmet. 44:2.
