Ezekiel 43:24 NKJV,NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 43:13-27

This relates to the altar in this mystical temple, and that is mystical too; for Christ is our altar. The Jews, after their return out of captivity, had an altar long before they had a temple, Ezra 3:3. But this was an altar in the temple. Now here we have, I. The measures of the altar, Ezek. 43:13. It was six yards square at the top and seven yards square at the bottom; it was four yards and a half high; it had a lower bench or shelf, here called a settle, a yard from the ground, on which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:24

And thou shalt offer them before the Lord ,.... Upon the altar of burnt offering, which stood before the house or temple where Jehovah dwelt, Ezekiel 40:47 , and the priests shall cast salt upon them ; which was to be used in all sacrifices under the law, Leviticus 2:13 , this may denote the savoury doctrines and lives of the ministers of the Gospel, who thereby recommend the truths they deliver, concerning a crucified Christ, his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice, to others; see ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:13-27

Purification and preparation. Almost all the regulations pertaining to the sacrifices under the old economy bore upon the supreme question of sanctity. God would impress upon his people, by every means and in every way, that the Holy One of Israel must be approached by those only who were pure and holy; that if they would "ascend unto the hill of the Lord" they must come "with clean hands and a pure heart." Hence everything and every one had to be carefully purified or consecrated in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:23-24

The presentation of a burnt offering unto the Lord was the next item in the ritual that should be observed. The material composing it should consist of a young bullock without blemish , as in the ordinary sacrificial cede (Le Ezekiel 1:3 , Ezekiel 1:4 , Ezekiel 1:5 ), and a ram out of the flock without blemish , as in the consecration of the priests ( Exodus 29:18 ) and of the altar (Le Ezekiel 8:18 ). The persons presenting it should be the prophet, thou , and the priests, ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 43:23-26

There was, on each of the seven days, a burnt-offering of a bullock and a ram, preceded by a “sin-offereng of a bullock” on the first day, and of a “kid of the goats” on the other days.Ezekiel 43:24Salt is here added to the “burnt-offering” to express still more the idea of purification. In the second temple no sacrifice was complete without the use of salt, and the rabbis assert that there was a great heap of salt close to the altar, always ready for use, and that the inclined plane to the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 43:18-27

Ezekiel 43:18-27. These are the ordinances of the altar Here we have directions concerning the dedication of the altar at first. Seven days were to be spent in the dedication of it, and every day sacrifices were to be offered upon it, particularly a goat for a sin-offering, (Ezekiel 43:25,) besides a young bullock for a sin-offering on the first day, Ezekiel 43:19; which teaches us, in all our religious services, to have an eye to Christ, the great sin- offering. Neither our persons nor... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:13-27

Altar of sacrifice (43:13-27)Positioned centrally in the inner court was the altar of burnt offering. In appearance it looked like three large square boxes placed one on top of the other, with the largest on the bottom and the smallest on the top, giving a stepped appearance. The whole structure was set on a large base built into the pavement. It was so huge that it needed steps so that the priest could climb up to reach the top level, on which the sacrifices were offered (13-17).The altar was... read more
