John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 45:13

This is the oblation that ye shall offer ,.... Not at the dedication of the temple, to be built in time to come, as Kimchi thinks; nor for the daily sacrifices, as others; but for the maintenance of the priests, that is, the ministers of the Gospel; for here begin the rules for the right ordering of ecclesiastical affairs of those times: the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley : this confirms that an "ephah" was... read more

Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil ,.... This shows that the bath was for liquid measure; and as oil was a part of food with the Jews, as well as used in their offerings, a rule is given for the distribution of that to the Lord's ministers, that they may have everything convenient for them: ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of a cor ; which was the same measure with the "homer", only another name for it, as follows: which is an homer of ten baths, for ten baths... read more

And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred ,.... As provision is before made for bread and oil, so here for meat for the servants of the Lord: if a man had two hundred lambs in his flock, one of them was to be given to them; it may be observed, that this plainly refers to times when the Mosaic dispensation should be abrogated; not tithes of all things are to be given to the priests, as heretofore; only the sixtieth part of wheat and barley, the hundredth part of oil, and but one lamb... read more

All the people of the land shall give this oblation ,.... None shall be exempted from it; all according to their capacity and ability shall contribute to the support of the ministry, and the service of religion: for the prince in Israel ; not the high priest, nor the civil magistrate, but the Prince Messiah: or rather "to the prince in Israel" F4 לנשיא "principi", Castalio, Cocceius, Starckius; so Abendana, ; what the people shall do in this way, they shall do it as to the Lord,... read more

And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings ,.... Or, "upon the prince shall be the burnt offerings" F5 ועל הנשיא יהיה העולות "et super principem erunt holocausta", V. L. Starckius; "nam principi incumbet dare holocausta", Junius & Tremellius. ; it shall lie upon him to provide them; who is not the high priest, as Jarchi; nor the civil magistrate or king, as Menachem; but Christ, who is both Prince and Priest; and whose sacrifice of himself is designed by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18

Thus saith the Lord God ,.... Here begins the account of the times and seasons in which the above sacrifices should be prepared and offered; or that which was signified by them be held forth in the ministry of the word to the faith of God's people: in the first month, in the first day of the month ; the month Nisan, as Kimchi observes, who adds, "which is the month of redemption, in which Israel were redeemed out of Egypt, and in which they shall be redeemed in time to come:' this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 45:19

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering ,.... An emblem of the blood of Christ, who was made sin for his people, and an offering for their sin; and which blood cleanses from all sin: and put it upon the posts of the house ; of the house of God, the sanctuary or temple; upon everyone of the posts of it, which stood at the entrance into it. The Targum is "upon the threshold of the house:' and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar ; or four horns of it;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 45:20

And so thou shall do the seventh day of the month ,.... Of the first month Nisan; here is another new rule or law, as Kimchi owns, of which no mention is made in the law of Moses: for everyone that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house ; or, "expiate" it F8 וכפר־תאם "ut expietis", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "et expiabitis", Cocceius, Starckius. ; make atonement for it; that is, for the house of God, the whole church, all his people;... read more

In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month ,.... Of the month Nisan, that day fortnight from the cleansing of the sanctuary; and that day week from the expiation of the house, and the recovery and reception of backsliders: ye shall have the passover ; Christ the passover sacrificed for us; held forth in the ministry of the word, and in the ordinance of the Lord's supper; for the passover was a type of Christ: his purity and strength were signified by the lamb without blemish,... read more
