Joe: Alright, so what do ya got for us from Ezekiel 46?

Bible Expert: Sure, so Ezekiel 46 is all about the temple regulations for the prince of Judah. It outlines the various duties and rights of the prince when it comes to the offerings and regulations for the temple.

Joe: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. So who is this prince of Judah?

Bible Expert: Well, the prince of Judah is a reference to the coming Messiah, because at the time, the political leader of the nation of Judah was a descendant of David, and so they referred to him as the prince of Judah.

Joe: Interesting. So what are these regulations?

Bible Expert: Well, they include things like the prince having the right to enter the temple and eat the offerings, but not to disturb them. He is also not allowed to enter the inner court without a gift, and he can only enter the inner court on the sabbath and new moon.

Joe: Wow, that's intense. Anything else?

Bible Expert: Yes, the prince also has to give offerings from his own private funds, such as wheat, oil, and wine. He also has to give a portion of his offerings to the priests.

Joe: Interesting. So what is the purpose of all these regulations?

Bible Expert: The purpose is to set up a system of proper worship for the people of Judah and to ensure that the prince is accountable to God's commands. It also shows the importance of the prince's role in the life of the nation.
