The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 46:16-24

The Sacrificial Kitchens v. 16. Thus saith the Lord God, in making provisions for the future, lest conditions arise which would result in acts of violence on the part of the ruler, If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance, to remain permanently under their dominion. v. 17. But if he give a gift of his inheritance, of the special land set aside for his use and enjoyment, to one of his servants, as... 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'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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:1-24

The New Temple (Ezekiel 40:1 to Ezekiel 48:35 ). The book of Ezekiel began with a vision of the glory of God and the coming of the heavenly chariot throne of God in order to speak directly to His people through Ezekiel (chapter 1). He then recorded the departure of God's glory from Jerusalem and the Temple because of the sins of Israel (chapters 8 - 11). This was followed by the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Now it ends with another vision, the return of God's glory to the land... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:19-24

The Man With The Measuring Line Reveals More of the Heavenly Temple (Ezekiel 46:19-24 ). The account now suddenly picks up abruptly with the heavenly visitant continuing to reveal the heavenly temple as though nothing had come between. That this is so is clear from comparison with Ezekiel 47:3, and in fact this section could easily be picked up and fitted between Ezekiel 42:14 and Ezekiel 42:15, and it would not be out of place. (It has even been suggested that that should happen, but then we... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:21-24

‘Then he brought me out into the outer court and made me pass by the four corners of the court, and behold in every corner of the court here was a (smaller) court. In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty broad. These four in the four corners were of one measurement. And in them was a row of masonry around them, round about the four, and it was made with hearths at the bottom of the rows which were round about. Then he said to me, “these are the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:19-24

Ezekiel 46:19-Jeremiah : . Kitchens for Priests and People.— To preserve the distinction between the less and the more holy there were two sets of kitchens for the boiling and baking of the sacrificial offerings— for the priests, at the north-west and south-west corners of the inner court, and for the people at the four corners of the outer court. (This section would appropriately follow Ezekiel 42:14. In Ezekiel 46:22, for “ inclosed” read, with LXX, “ small.” ) read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 46:21

The utter court; either the court of the people, or more likely the court of the priests or Levites, called here utter court, because it was more outward than the court of the temple. To pass by the four corners, to go about the whole square of the court. In every corner, where the side walls did meet in right angles. A court; a smaller court made up on the outer sides with the walls of the greater square, and on the inside made with two walls, the one forty cubits long, the other thirty cubits... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-24

AN IMPOSING SPECTACLE OF WORSHIP IN THE TEMPLE (Chap. 46)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 46:1. “The gate of the inner court opened.” The inner east gate of the Temple, otherwise shut, shall be opened on the Sabbath and new moon. This rule does not interfere with chap. Ezekiel 44:1. There the outer gate is expressly named. This also here remains shut, as indeed chap. Ezekiel 47:2 presupposes that it is shut once for all; otherwise it would have been opened for the prince.”—Hengstenberg.Ezekiel 46:2.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-24

Chapter 46Now it describes in chapter 46 how the prince worships in this new sanctuary.Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it will be open, in the day of the new moon it will be open ( Ezekiel 46:1 ).So this gate on the inner court that you see here in your diagram, six days of the week it will be closed.
