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'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.

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 46:1-24

Ezekiel 46:21 . In every corner of the court there was a court. The LXX read aule micra, a little court, which relieves the idea, by defining the nature of the courts. These courts were open to the heavens, having no roof. REFLECTIONS. The gate of the inner court being opened on the sabbath, shows the peculiar sanctity of that day as high and holy; and that it is of everlasting obligation till the heavenly sabbath shall commence. It is therefore lamentable that any modern christians who... read more
