Ezekiel 46:8

6 On the day of the New Moon he shall offer a young, unblemished bull, six lambs, and a ram without blemish.

7 He is to provide a grain offering of an ephah with the bull, an ephah with the ram, and as much as he is able with the lambs, along with a hin of oil per ephah.

When the prince enters, he shall go in through the portico of the gateway, and he shall go out the same way.

9 When the people of the land come before the LORD at the appointed feasts, whoever enters by the north gate to worship must go out by the south gate, and whoever enters by the south gate must go out by the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which he entered, but each must go out by the opposite gate.

10 When the people enter, the prince shall go in with them, and when they leave, he shall leave.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
