The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:5

The attentive consideration of religious truth. Ezekiel was to mark well the minute directions which were given to him concerning the temple. He was not a builder, and there is no reason to think that he was expected to consider these matters with a view to carrying out the work of constructing the new temple. But it was important that he should attend to the suggestiveness of every detail, because all that was here set forth was symbolical of spiritual truth. The smallest points of this... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 44:1-31

Service in the temple (44:1-31)Because the glory of God had entered the temple through the east gate of the outer court, no human being was considered worthy to enter by this gate. It therefore had always to be kept shut (44:1-2). The king, however, could eat his sacrificial meal in the vestibule that was on the inside of the east gate. He had to enter the temple compound by either the north or the south gate, then enter the vestibule from the courtyard side (3).The presence of God’s glory in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 44:4

The guide proceeded to take Ezekiel through the north inner gate into the inner court of the temple. There he saw again the glory of the Lord that filled the temple proper, and he prostrated himself before it out of fear and reverence (cf. Ezekiel 1:28; Ezekiel 43:1-5)."The new reference to the glory of God simply makes clear that it is the return of God to the temple that serves as a basis for the regulations to follow."
