エゼキエル書 43:18-22 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 43:13-27

This relates to the altar in this mystical temple, and that is mystical too; for Christ is our altar. The Jews, after their return out of captivity, had an altar long before they had a temple, Ezra 3:3. But this was an altar in the temple. Now here we have, I. The measures of the altar, Ezek. 43:13. It was six yards square at the top and seven yards square at the bottom; it was four yards and a half high; it had a lower bench or shelf, here called a settle, a yard from the ground, on which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:18

And he said unto me, son of man, thus saith the Lord God ,.... This is the voice of the Lord continued, speaking out of the house to the prophet; see Ezekiel 43:6 , these are the ordinances of the altar : not what go before, concerning the measures of it, but what follow, concerning the sacrifices to be offered on it: in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and sprinkle blood thereon ; this plainly shows that this altar is the altar of burnt offerings;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:19

And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites, that be of the seed of Zadok ,.... Who, in Solomon's time, was put in the room of Abiathar; see Ezekiel 40:46 , his name signifies a "righteous" one, a type he was of Jesus Christ the righteous; and here his seed signify the seed of Christ, such whom he makes priests unto the Lord; to these, in a visionary way, the prophet was to give this altar, for them to serve at, and eat of; and all the rites and ordinances to observe and keep; and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:20

And thou shalt take of the blood thereof ,.... Ezekiel being a priest. This must be understood in a visionary way; for, as Kimchi observes, Ezekiel did not live to come up out of the captivity, but died, and was buried in the land of Babylon, and so did not actually do this: though it is a mere dream of the same writer, that this is to be understood of the resurrection of the dead, when he supposes Ezekiel will be high priest, though Aaron be present; or however be the second, or deputy to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:21

Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering ,.... Which was appointed for the sin offering, according to the divine direction, Ezekiel 43:19 , the prophet was to take it out of the herd, and separate it from the rest for this purpose, and deliver it into the hands of one of the priests: and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house ; that is, one of the sons of Zadok should receive it of the prophet, and burn it in its proper place; not within the house, without the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:22

And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering ,.... Jarchi observes, that this was not in the tabernacle, but ordered to be in future time by him that speaks; instead of this, another ram was appointed by the law, Exodus 29:15 , this shows the ceremonial law to be changeable, and now abolished: this was typical of Christ, without spot and blemish, and yet figured by the goat, being made sin for his people: and they shall cleanse the altar ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:13-27

Purification and preparation. Almost all the regulations pertaining to the sacrifices under the old economy bore upon the supreme question of sanctity. God would impress upon his people, by every means and in every way, that the Holy One of Israel must be approached by those only who were pure and holy; that if they would "ascend unto the hill of the Lord" they must come "with clean hands and a pure heart." Hence everything and every one had to be carefully purified or consecrated in... read more
