Come near to my table - To place the shew-bread there, and to burn incense on the golden altar in the holy of holies. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:17

No wool shall come upon them - The reason is plain; wool is more apt than linen to contract dirt and breed insects; linen breeds none; besides, this is a vegetable, and the other an animal substance. It was an ancient maxim, that whatever was taken from a dead body was impure in matters of religion, and should not be permitted to enter into the temple. The Egyptian priests always wore linen on their bodies, and shoes of matting or rushes on their feet. The Mohammedans never write the Koran... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:20

Neither shall they shave their heads - The priests of Isis shaved their heads close to the skin; the priests of Budhoo do so still, their ordinances oblige them to shave their heads every tenth day. To let the hair grow long would have been improper; therefore the Lord commands them to poll - cut the hair short, but not to shave. read more

And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves - Touching the dead defiles a Hindoo now, as it formerly did a Jew; and they must bathe to become clean again. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 44:28

I am their inheritance - Those who affect to form their ecclesiastical matters on the model of the Jewish Church have with one consent left this out of the question. They will not live on the free-will offerings of the people; but must have vast revenues, and these secured to them by law. That every minister of God should be supported by the altar I grant; but I think, instead of that method of paying the parochial clergy which I see is so much objected to, and breeds so much dissension... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:1

The gate of the outward sanctuary , the outer gate of the sanctuary (Revised Version)— which looketh toward the east . To this door the prophet was conducted back, by way of the inner north or south gate, from the inner court, in which he had received the measurements of the altar and the instructions for its consecration ( Ezekiel 43:5 ). Whether Ezekiel stood upon the outside of this door as in Ezekiel 43:1 , or upon its inside, cannot as yet be determined; but in either ease he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:1-2

The shut gate: reverence. What is the true significance of this closure? Much has been made of it by fanciful exposition; but surely the true lesson is that which lies upon the surface, viz. that the closed gate would be a continual reminder that the people must reverently abstain from using the entrance through which the Most High himself had once passed. It was another symbolic utterance of the truth that we must "put off our shoes" when we stand on "holy ground." The fact that there was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:1-3

The prerogative of the prince. The regulation prescribed in these verses is very remarkable, and is not free from difficulties. It appears that a peculiar sanctity attached to the eastern gate of the temple, owing to the fact that it was by this gate that the glory of the Lord entered, and by this same gate that the glory of the Lord had previously forsaken, the sacred precincts. To mark this sacredness, the gate was kept shut, and no one was permitted to pass through it, except the... read more
