Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 44:18

This verse recounts but two garments of linen, the bonnet and the breeches, but Exodus 28:39; 1 Samuel 2:18,1 Samuel 2:28; 1 Samuel 14:3, mention a linen coat, or ephod; so they had three linen garments, and a girdle of fine twined linen about to gird the coat fast, yet so as not to make them sweat, or smell offensively. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 44:1-31

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

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:17-19

17-19. Linen garments were worn by the Hebrew priests (Exodus 28:39; Exodus 28:42; Exodus 39:27-28), as by the Egyptian ( Herodotus, 2:37), because of its cleanliness and because of its symbolization of purity. Sweat was regarded, both by the Egyptians and Hebrews, as unclean. These holy garments were to be left in the inner sanctuary (Ezekiel 42:14) lest they should touch the people who were working in the outer courts and therefore “sanctify” them that is, separate them unto God, making... read more
