“The prince shall enter
By the vestibule
Of the gate
From outside.
He shall take
His stand
By the post
Of the gate.
The priests shall offer
His burnt offering,
As well as his peace offerings.
He shall bow down
At the threshold
Of the gate.
Then he shall go out.
But the gate shall
Not be closed
Until evening.”
The prince seemed to be allowed to enter into the vestibule by the eastern gate. He stood at a post near the gate, while the priests offered up his burnt offerings and peace offerings. The prince would bow down at the threshold of the gate. Then he would go out the eastern gate, since it would not be closed until evening came.
