에스겔 44:1-2 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:2

This gate shall be shut , The prophet must have noted this as an important difference between the new sanctuary and the old (whether temple or tabernacle), in which the east gate stood always open. That the gate of the new temple was to be closed only on the six working days Ewald mistakenly infers from Ezekiel 46:1 , where he reads, after the LXX ; the outer instead of the inner court. But Ezekiel 46:1 refers to the east gate of the inner court. Of the east gate of the outer court it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:2-3

The shut gate. The "Golden Gate" at Jerusalem, on the eastern side of the temple area, looking towards the Mount of Olives, is now built up, so that it can only be traced by means of the form of the arches and carved work embedded in a line of wall. Tradition associates this now inaccessible archway with the gate which Ezekiel said should be shut till the Prince passed through it. There is a striking symbolism in Ezekiel's description of the shut gate. I. THE GATE WAS SHUT . ... read more

Outward sanctuary - The court of the priests, as distinguished from the temple itself. This gate was reserved for the prince, to whom it was opened on certain days. Only a prince of the house of David might sit down in the priests’ court (compare Ezekiel 46:1-2). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 44:1-2

Ezekiel 44:1-2. Then he brought me back, &c. From the altar to the gate belonging to the court of the priests, and leading to the outward court of the temple. All the courts were reckoned holy ground, and called sometimes by the name of the temple. And it was shut After that the glory of the Lord had entered that way. Then saith the Lord, This gate shall be shut Shall be generally kept shut; no man shall enter in by it None of the common people: see chap. Ezekiel 46:1. Because... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:1

The east gate is assigned to the priests (Ezekiel 44:1-3). The priesthood is reproved and condemned for their sins (Ezekiel 44:4-14). Next are given specific regulations for cleansing and purifying the priesthood (Ezekiel 44:15-31). read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 44:2

Ezekiel 44:2. Therefore it all be shut— This is very ill pointed, and improperly separated from the third verse. It should be read thus, Therefore it shall be shut for the prince. Ezekiel 44:3. The same prince shall fit in it, &c. See chap. Eze 46:1-3 and Houbigant. The kings of Judah had a distinguished place in the temple; a kind of tribunal, placed opposite the eastern gate. See ch. Eze 46:12. 2 Chronicles 6:12-13. read more
