Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 44:1-31

Service in the temple (44:1-31)Because the glory of God had entered the temple through the east gate of the outer court, no human being was considered worthy to enter by this gate. It therefore had always to be kept shut (44:1-2). The king, however, could eat his sacrificial meal in the vestibule that was on the inside of the east gate. He had to enter the temple compound by either the north or the south gate, then enter the vestibule from the courtyard side (3).The presence of God’s glory in... read more

Ezekiel 44:30. Ye shall also give—the first of your dough— See Leviticus 2:4. REFLECTIONS.—1st, The prophet, following his heavenly guide, returns to the east gate; which, in honour of him whose glory entered the temple thereat, was kept shut ever after, only the prince was admitted to eat his part of the peace-offerings in the porch, and to go in and out by the way of the porch of that gate; which some interpreters suppose to represent the church of Christ upon earth, shut against all profane... read more

They would also receive the best parts of the firstfruits of every kind that the people brought to the Lord. The Lord would bless the people who were careful to provide the priests with their firstfruits (cf. Malachi 3:8-12; 2 Corinthians 9:10-11). Priests were not to eat any animals that died a natural death or had been slain in a way other than as a sacrifice to the Lord (cf. Leviticus 17:5; Leviticus 22:8; Deuteronomy 14:21). These animals might be inferior and might carry communicable... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:1-31

§ 2. The Ordinances of the New Israel (Ezekiel 40-48)This concluding section of the book is dated in the twenty-fifth year of Ezekiel's captivity, i.e. the fourteenth year after the fall of Jerusalem (572 b.c.). It is therefore thirteen years later than the previous section (Ezekiel 33-39), and, with the exception of Ezekiel 29:17-21, forms the latest part of the book. It is in the form of a vision, which is the counterpart of that in Ezekiel 8-11. There God forsook the old Temple which had... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:4-31

The Priests and the LevitesStanding at the inner northern gate Ezekiel again saw the glory of God filling the Temple and was again addressed by the divine voice (Ezekiel 44:4-5). The Speaker first rebuked the custom which had prevailed in the old Temple, of having foreigners as servants in the sanctuary (Ezekiel 44:6-8). He directed that in future their place should be taken by the Lévites who were not of the family of Zadok. These had formerly shared the priestly office, but for their... read more

Ezekiel 44:6 Still I delayed to scorn and leave the bliss of earthly things.... Wretched, most wretched, I had begged chastity from Thee in my early youth, crying, 'Give me chastity, only not yet'. For I feared lest Thou shouldest hear me soon, and cure me soon of the disease of concupiscence, which I wished to have satisfied rather than extinguished. Augustine, Confessions, viii. 7. Ezekiel 44:13-14 The comparison thought, that profit accrues to a life by the wise memory of its past... read more

PRINCE AND PEOPLEEzekiel 44:1-31; Ezekiel 45:1-25; Ezekiel 46:1-24, PASSIMIT was remarked in a previous chapter that the "prince" of the closing vision appears to occupy a less exalted position than the Messianic king of chapter 34 or chapter 37. The grounds on which this impression rests require, however, to be carefully considered, if we are not to carry away a thoroughly false conception of the theocratic state foreshadowed by Ezekiel. It must not be supposed that the prince is a personage... read more
