The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:13

The homing sacrifice. I. THE MORNING SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO GOD . Then especially worship is fitting. It is sad to begin the day without prayer. But the fresh morning devotion has a preciousness of its own. 1. Then we awake from sleep . It is happy indeed to wake to some good thought of God. He has preserved us through the long hours of darkness. New strength has come by refreshing rest, and this is God's gift. Therefore grateful thoughts should rise with morning... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:13

The daily offering. There is nothing inconsistent in the combination of special solemnities observed upon certain occasions with the regular daily worship. They are not contradictory of, but complementary to, each other. If there is an adaptation between annual festivals and one principle of human nature, there is an equal adaptation between another tendency of that nature and the constantly recurring daily sacrifice of prayer and praise. Accordingly, in this same chapter are found... read more

supply closing instructions for the daily sacrifice. The daily burnt offering should be a lamb of the first year ; literally, a son of his year ; whereas the Law of Moses required a lamb twice a day ( Exodus 29:38-42 ; Numbers 28:1-8 ). The daily meat (or, meal) offering to accompany this should be the sixth part of an ephah , instead of a tenth as under Moses, and the third part of a hin of oil , instead of a fourth as prescribed by the earlier legislation, to temper with — ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:13-15

The essence of religion. Inasmuch as true religion is a daily help and solace to men, it was needful to impress this upon the minds of the Jews by a daily sacrifice. In order to obtain the highest good from God, we must dedicate our whole self to God. It is in giving that we receive. Our interests and God's interests are not distinct; they are identical. Yet this is a difficult lesson for men to learn. They persist in judging that time taken from secular pursuits is time misspent; that... read more

Compare with marginal references. The evening sacrifice is here omitted, because the seer is selecting a few only of the sacrifices of the Law, with a particular object in view. read more

Ezekiel 46:12-14. Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary offering The foregoing verses gave directions about the sacrifices the prince was enjoined to offer upon solemn days; this gives directions concerning his free-will, or voluntary offerings, concerning which see Leviticus 22:18; Leviticus 22:21. Upon these occasions the eastern gate was to be opened for the prince; but then, as soon as the service was over, and he was gone out, the gate was to be shut, because that gate was not... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-15

Offerings and festivals (45:13-46:15)All the people had a part in providing the offerings for national religious festivals. The offerings were collected by the king, who then offered them in sacrifice on behalf of his people (13-17). At the beginning and end of the first week of the new year, sacrifices were offered for the cleansing of the temple (18-20). The two main annual festivals to be celebrated at the temple were the Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread at the beginning of the year... read more
