The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:17

The prince, as receiver-general of the people's offerings, should devote them to maintaining (literally, it should be upon him, and so form part of his duty to maintain) the sacrificial worship of the new temple, in the feasts ( הַגִּים , or joyous celebrations), and in the now moons , and in the sabbaths , and generally in all solemnities ( מוֹעָדִים , or appointed times, hence festal seasons) of the house of Israel , that thereby he might make reconciliation (or, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18

Thus saith the Lord God. The usual solemn introduction prefixed to Divine enactments (comp. Ezekiel 45:9 ; Ezekiel 43:19 ; Ezekiel 44:6 , Ezekiel 44:9 ; Ezekiel 46:1 , Ezekiel 46:16 ). In the first month, in the first day of the month (comp. Genesis 8:13 ). That the first month, Abib, was intended is apparent from Ezekiel 45:21 , compared with Exodus 12:2 ; Numbers 9:1 . Under the Mosaic Torah, the Passover began on the tenth day of the first month by the selection of a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18-20

Sanctity of time and place. Human life on earth is conditioned by lime and place. It is a necessity of our existence here that we should occupy some definite place. It is a necessity that we should live during some duration of time. We are cradled amid outward circumstance. Until the soil has matured its powers, it is molded and modified by external surroundings. What these are, the character of the man, in great measure, will be. I. THE SANCTUARY IS THE FOUNTAIN - HEAD OF... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18-25

These verses allude to the institution of a new feast-cycle, whose deviations from that of the Pentateuch will be best exhibited in the course of exposition. Whether three festivals are referred to or only two is debated by expositors. Fairbairn, Havernick, Ewald, Keil, Schroder, and Plumptre decide for three—the festival of the new year ( Ezekiel 45:18-20 ), the Passover ( Ezekiel 45:21-24 ), and the Feast of Tabernacles ( Ezekiel 45:25 ). Kliefoth, Smend, and Curtsy find only two a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18-25

Sacred festivals. The prophet here refers to some of those great "feasts of the Jews" which formed so interesting a feature of the social and religious life of the chosen people. These references are suggestive of the spiritual privileges and religious exercises of the vaster Israel of God, which he has redeemed to himself by the death of his Son and consecrated to himself by the grace of his Spirit. Among the lessons which these festivals may thus convey may be mentioned— I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:19

The mode in which this act of purgation should be performed is next described. The blood of the sin offering should by the priest be put (not sprinkled) upon the posts of the house , i.e. upon the posts or pillars of the door connecting the holy place with the holy of holies ( Ezekiel 41:21 ), and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar of burnt offering in the inner court ( Ezekiel 43:14 ), and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court , not of the eastern gate... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:20

The same ceremony should be repeated on the seventh day of the month , not on the first day of the seventh month , as Smend proposes, in accordance with the λήψῃ , and on the ground that "the seventh day of (the same) mouth" would have been in Hebrew בְּשִׁבְעָה לֶחֹדֶשׁ , as in Ezekiel 1:1 ; Ezekiel 30:20 ; at the same time admitting that בַּחֹדֶשׁ is sometimes used ( Numbers 10:11 ), though not (except in this verse) by Ezekiel. The sin offerings in question... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:20

The erring and the simple. The sacrifices under the Law of Moses were not intended for presumptuous, high-handed sins of the worst kind (see Numbers 15:30 ; Deuteronomy 17:12 ). They were designed for the less grave offences, more especially for transgressions of the ceremonial law. Here we have an injunction requiring a general, and not individual, offering to be rendered on behalf of those who had been inadvertently led into error, or who, by reason of mental simplicity, had failed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:21

With the fourteenth day of the month , the day appointed by the Law of Moses for the killing of the Paschal lamb ( Exodus 12:6 ), the Passover ( חַפָסַה with the article, the well-known festival of that name) should commence. Though the selection of the lamb upon the tenth day of the first month is not specified, it may be assumed that this would be implied in the appointment of a Passover which should begin on the day already legalized by the Mosaic Torah. According to Wellhausen... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:21

The moral of the Passover. This great feast, which was so solemnly though hastily inaugurated, and so solemnly and joyously renewed after a discreditable lapse ( Exodus 12:1-51 .; 2 Chronicles 30:1-27 .), had an historical and also a religious aspect. I. ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE . It recalled one great event of surpassing national interest; it brought back to memory the pitiless cruelty, the blind obduracy, the false confidence of Egypt, and, at the same time, the sad... read more
