And Jehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut; it will not be opened. And a man shall not go in by it, because Jehovah, the God of Israel, has gone in by it; so it shall be shut.
And they saw the God of Israel. And under His feet was as the work of a pavement of sapphire, and the same as the essence of the heavens for clearness.
So says the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that faces the east shall be shut the six days of work. But on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
