Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 44:25

They, the priests, who come near to minister before the Lord, shall come at no dead person; neither touch, nor come into the room, nor attend the funeral of the dead; for this would be a legal and ceremonial defilement, and it is prohibited Leviticus 21:1. The Jews tell us that he who comes within four cubits of the dead is defiled; and the law, though it determine not at what distance such are defiled, it doth determine that they are unclean till evening by touch or coming near the carcass of... read more

THE RELATION OF PRINCE AND PRIESTS TO THE TEMPLE (Chap. 44)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 44:1. “The gate of the outward sanctuary”—the court of the priests as distinguished from the Temple itself. “This gate shall be shut”—shut to the people, but opened on certain days for the prince (chap. Ezekiel 46:1), he holding the place of God in political concerns, as the priests do in spiritual. Only a prince of the House of David might sit down in the priests’ court. As a mark of respect to an Eastern... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 44:1-31

Chapter 44Now as we get to chapter 44, we come to a prophecy that is so often misinterpreted. And I must confess to you that I have often misinterpreted this prophecy. And as I read it more carefully and have read it more carefully this time, and this is one of the problems I have with this last portion of Ezekiel, that every time I read it I seem to see something else that I didn't quite understand before and my whole views have to change again.But he brought me back to the way of the gate of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 44:1-31

Ezekiel 44:5 . Mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears. Every thing seen in this vision of the temple, adumbrates celestial glory, and therefore demanded the most profound attention. The law was a shadow of good things to come. REFLECTIONS. The substance of this chapter is much the same as the twenty first and twenty second chapters of Leviticus, under which suitable reflections will be found. But here it is of consequence to note, that the way in which the glory... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 44:25

Eze 44:25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. Ver. 25. And they shall come at no dead person. ] Not defile their consciences with dead works. They may defile themselves. ] So they keep a mean. Something they may yield to nature, nothing to impatience. Mens e luctu eluctetur, the mind surmounts difficulties from grief. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:25

25. The priest might touch no dead person nor enter the room where the dead lay (Numbers 19:14); for by this he would be ritually defiled and rendered unfit for duty. (Compare Leviticus 21:1-3; Leviticus 21:11.) Only for blood relatives was an exception made. Some have supposed the wife was not mentioned because it was self-evident that in such a case defilement “ could not be avoided and was therefore tacitly allowed.” The priests were never supposed to be celibates. These restrictions... read more
