Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 46:6-7

On the new moon days, the prince was to offer the same offerings as he did on the Sabbath days plus a young bull and an ephah of flour and a hin of oil with it. This too is somewhat different from the Mosaic requirement (cf. Numbers 28:11-15). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:1-24

The Offerings at the Sacred Seasons, etc(This whole passage should be compared with Numbers 28:29.)(a) The Atonement for the Sanctuary (Eze 45:18-20)This was to take place twice yearly, on the first days of the first and seventh months. These two days in Ezekiel serve the same purpose as the great Day of Atonement on the tenth day of the seventh month (Leviticus 16:0; Num 29:7-11).20. The seventh day of the month] LXX 'in the seventh month, on the first day of the month'. Reconcile] RV 'make... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-24

THE RITUALEzekiel 45:1-25; Ezekiel 46:1-24IT is difficult to go back in imagination to a time when sacrifice was the sole and sufficient form of every complete act of worship. That the slaughter of an animal, or at least the presentation of a material offering of some sort, should ever have been considered of the essence of intercourse with the Deity may seem to us incredible in the light of the idea of God which we now possess. Yet there can be no doubt that there was a stage of religious... read more

46:7 And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs {b} according as his hand shall be able, and an hin of oil to an ephah.(b) Meaning, as he will think good. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-24

THE CLOSE OF THE BOOK THE GATE OF THE PRINCE (Ezekiel 44:1-3 ) As the glory of Jehovah had entered this gate (Ezekiel 48:4-5 ), it must hereafter be closed for all but His representative the prince. This cannot mean the Messiah, because the prince requires a sin-offering. (Remember that sin will be suppressed in that day, but not yet extirpated.) Doubtless this prince is a future prince of the house of David. THE FUTURE PRIESTS AND LEVITES (Ezekiel 44:9-31 ) Ezekiel 44:9-14 show that... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-18

Mysterious as the subject is in many points, respecting these offerings, looking as this scripture evidently doth, to a period of the Church, when the daily offering was forever to cease; yet one point is abundantly clear and satisfactory; namely, that the Prince was to be in the midst of his people, both at their going in, and going out. Such we know Christ to be, in all his Churches; and indeed without his presence, their assembly would be in vain. It is a precious consideration to the... read more

Various Sacrifices v. 1. Thus saith the Lord God, The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days, just like the outer portal, 44:1; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon, another day of peculiar sanctity, it shall be opened. v. 2. And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, from the outer court, and shall stand by the post of the gate, by a pillar of the gate leading to the Court of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 46:1-24

CHAPTER 461Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; and on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 2And the prince cometh the way of [to] the porch of the gate from without, and will stand at the post of the gate; and the priests offer up his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings; and he worships at the threshold of the gate, and 3will go out; and the gate shall not... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 46:1-24

This passage constitutes one paragraph dealing with the arrangements for the feasts, and appointed times and seasons. Twice a year the sacred ceremony of cleansing the sanctuary was to be performed, on the first day of the first month, and on the first day of the seventh month. In this provision the holiness of God is insisted upon, in that it is an atonement for the house on the behalf, not of any individuals, or of specific sins, but "for everyone that erreth, and for him that is simple." ... read more
