Tafsiran Yehezkiel 44:3: Rashi

The prince [I permit]; he is a prince, etc. The prince I give permission. He is a prince, and is esteemed, and it is not fitting for him to sit and eat with the rest of the priests in the chambers.

he shall sit therein in its space.

Now since it states below (46:9), concerning: “But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the Festivals, he who enters by way of, etc.” Scripture commanded making the Court a shortcut since that entry was [made] for the sake of appearing [before God]. He must therefore be well seen [i.e., throughout the entire Court].

by way of the hall of the gate he shall come By way of the hall of the Eastern Gate he shall enter the Court and come up to that wicket to eat his bread therein.

and by the same way he shall leave For this is not fit for a shortcut, as are the rest of the gates. Throughout the day, when not during the time of the prince’s eating, it shall be closed.
