The Gate for the Prince
Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. Eze 44:9
stranger, uncircumcised in... Again God forbade any stranger, any unconverted man (one uncircumcised in heart), or one uncircumcised in the flesh to enter the sanctuary. Violating this has been mentioned many times as one of the sins committed by the priests of Israel.
of any stranger... The “stranger” is speaking of those who do not know God.
The Jews who returned from the Babylonian Captivity stressed this prohibition (cf. Ezr. 4:1-3; Neh. 13:1-9; cf. Acts 21:27-32).
