以西結書 45:8 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 45:1-8

Directions are here given for the dividing of the land after their return to it; and, God having warranted them to do it, would be an act of faith, and not of folly, thus to divide it before they had it. And it would be welcome news to the captives to hear that they should not only return to their own land, but that, whereas they were now but few in number, they should increase and multiply, so as to replenish it. But this never had its accomplishment in the Jewish state after the return out... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:8

My princes shall no more oppress my people . That Israel in former times had suffered from the oppressions and exactions of her kings, from Solomon downwards, as Samuel had predicted she would ( 1 Samuel 8:10-18 ), was matter of history (see 1 Kings 12:4 , 1 Kings 12:10 , 1 Kings 12:11 ; 2 Kings 23:35 ), and was perhaps partly explained, though not justified, by the fact that the kings had no crown lands assigned them for their support. This excuse, however, for regal tyranny... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:8

Princes not oppressors. In the apportionment of the restored and newly occupied territory there was need for a display of a just and equitable spirit. That there was some danger of another and contrary spirit is evident from the admonition here addressed by the prophet in the name of the Lord to those in power and authority. I. THE SPHERE OF OPPRESSION . The oppressor may exercise his might in violation of the principles of righteousness; either II. THE MOTIVE TO ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:8

Human oppression. "My princes shall no more oppress my people." God is now upon the throne (see Ezekiel 43:7 ), and there is no room for an earthly sovereign. The highest ruler is the "prince;" but that word stands for human authority and power, whatever be the name by which it is indicated. The promise has a reflex significance; it points to the evils which had been in past times. And Israel would have been fortunate indeed if it had escaped the common doom of oppression at the hand of... read more

On either side of the 25,000 reeds a strip of land, running westward to the sea, eastward to the Jordan, formed the possession of the prince (see Ezekiel 46:18 note). For the other tribes the limits from west to east are the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan Ezekiel 48:8.Ezekiel 45:7And the length shall be over against - Or, “and” in length “over against.”The definition of the prince’s territory was to prevent the oppressions foretold (1 Samuel 8:14 ff), described 2 Kings 23:35, and reproved... read more

Ezekiel 45:7-8 . And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side, &c. One-half of the prince’s portion was to lie on the west side of the three portions laid out for the priests and sanctuary, the Levites and city; and the other half to be on the east side of it, and to run parallel to them in breadth from north to south.
