Ezekiel 46:2 describes the prince entering by the porch gate and exiting, and this verse repeats the same instruction, emphasizing the fixed route for his entry and exit.

Ezekiel 46:12 elaborates on the prince's entry/exit for voluntary offerings, continuing the same context.

Ezekiel 44:1-3 gives the same rule: the east gate is shut except for the prince, who enters and exits by the same way.

Ezekiel 44:3 specifies the prince enters and exits by the porch of the east gate, directly parallel to the rule in 46:8.
