Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 43:13-17

The altar of sacrifice 43:13-17Some scholars view this section as the central one in chapters 40-48. [Note: E.g., J. G. McConville, "Priests and Levites in Ezekiel: A Crux in the Interpretation of Israel’s History," Tyndale Bulletin 34 (1983):20-23.] The altar was at the very center of the whole temple complex, and it was the centerpiece of the system of worship represented in the new temple complex. read more

4. The temple ordinances 43:13-46:24Instructions (statutes) designed to maintain holiness in the new temple follow. The Lord specified how His people were to construct the new altar to accommodate sacrifices (Ezekiel 43:13-17) and how they were to dedicate it (Ezekiel 43:18-27). He revealed how they were to use the temple (Ezekiel 44:1-9), how the priests were to function (Ezekiel 44:10-31), and how the sacred land district was to be used (Ezekiel 45:1-8). An exhortation to Israel’s leaders... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 43:14

The square altar rose above its foundation in three tiers, the largest one below, the next largest one above it, and the smallest one on top. The first, largest stage was two cubits (3 feet 4 inches) high and one cubit (20 inches) smaller than the foundation on each of its four sides. The second tier was four cubits (6 feet 8 inches) high and one cubit (20 inches) smaller than the first tier on each of its four sides. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-27

§ 2. The Ordinances of the New Israel (Ezekiel 40-48)This concluding section of the book is dated in the twenty-fifth year of Ezekiel's captivity, i.e. the fourteenth year after the fall of Jerusalem (572 b.c.). It is therefore thirteen years later than the previous section (Ezekiel 33-39), and, with the exception of Ezekiel 29:17-21, forms the latest part of the book. It is in the form of a vision, which is the counterpart of that in Ezekiel 8-11. There God forsook the old Temple which had... read more

Ezekiel 43:2 Mr. Augustus Hare, in Memorials of a Quiet Life, quotes a passage from his mother's diary, in which, after writing down this verse, she adds: 'Yes, with the glory of the God of Israel. In itself it was dark and lifeless; but when the glory of the God of Israel arose out of the East, even as the Sun of Righteousness, then the earth reflected His bright shining, and became glorious through His light resting upon it. So have I seen on a bright sunshiny morning at Hurstmonceaux, the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

THE SANCTUARYTHE fundamental idea of the theocracy as conceived by Ezekiel is the literal dwelling of Jehovah in the midst of His people. The Temple is in the first instance Jehovah’s palace, where He manifests His gracious presence by receiving the gifts and homage of His subjects. But the enjoyment of this privilege of access to the presence of God depends on the fulfilment of certain conditions which, in the prophet’s view, had been systematically violated in the arrangements that prevailed... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE These chapters give a picture of the restored temple at Jerusalem during the Millennium, and of the worship of the Messiah when He shall exercise sway from that center to the ends of the earth. Beginning with Ezekiel 40:1-5 , we have an introduction to the subject: (1) the location and the opening vision (the vision is of a city on the south); (2) a man with a measuring rod; (3) a building surrounded by a wall (Ezekiel 40:5 ). In Ezekiel 40:6-16 the measurement of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 43:1-27

The Altar Measurable and Immeasurable Eze 43:13 There is nothing held to be insignificant in the Book of God that pertains to the divine altar or the holy house. Everything is of consequence; perhaps it would be more than paradoxical to say that everything is of supreme consequence. "The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 43:13-27

Here we have a further relation of the house, and the ordinances of it; and all with an eye to Christ; to whom all his people are priests, and ministering servants to the Church of the living God. And it is very blessed, when our long lost, wandering, and sinful souls, are brought into an heartfelt acquaintance with Christ's fulness, and our own insufficiency. Oh! how truly blessed is it to see here, as in all the other parts of God's holy word, that holiness to the Lord is in Christ, and only... read more
