エゼキエル書 44:15 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 44:10-16

The Master of the house, being about to set up house again, takes account of his servants the priests, and sees who are fit to be turned out of their places and who to be kept in, and takes a course with them accordingly. I. Those who have been treacherous are degraded and put lower those Levites?or priests who were carried down the stream of the apostasy of Israel formerly, who went astray from God after their idols (Ezek. 44:10), who had complied with the idolatrous kings of Israel or Judah,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 44:15

But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok ;.... The priests who were of the tribe of Levi, whom the Lord chose and separated, to minister to him, and so had a lawful call to this office, and were regularly invested with it; and design true and lawful, as well as faithful, ministers of the word; these are called the sons of Zadok, who descended from Eleazar the son of Aaron in the line of Phinehas, to whom the Lord promised the everlasting priesthood, and who was put into this office by... read more

Accordingly, that no such abuses might creep in to desecrate the temple of the future, a new Torah was promulgated concerning the persons who should have a right to participate in its services. If the "prince" is omitted, the reason probably was that a special section is subsequently devoted to him ( Ezekiel 46:1-8 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:10-16

The degradation of the Levites. From this interesting passage it would appear that there was a time when the Levites enjoyed free access to the altar, and were allowed to serve as priests before the Lord. But they had abused their privileges in admitting heathen people to the sacred enclosure, in doing their work by proxy, in even going aside to idolatry. Therefore they were degraded from their high functions—all of them except one family, that of Zadok. As the members of this family had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:10-16

Reward and punishment on earth, According to rank and position in the Church is responsibility. Example is contagious. Treachery by a military officer is a graver sin than treachery by a soldier in the ranks. Pollution at the fourth is a greater evil than pollution in a branch-stream. Disease in the heart is a more serious matter than disease in the skin or at the extremities. If the priests of God sanction idolatry, the whole nation will follow suit, and the cause of God is betrayed. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:15-16

The ordinance for the priests . That Ezekiel derived the phrase, the priests the Levites , from Deuteronomy ( Deuteronomy 17:9 ; Deuteronomy 18:1 ; Deuteronomy 24:8 ; Deuteronomy 27:9 ) may be granted without admitting that the Levites were all priests, or that the phrase had other import than that the priests were, as the Deuteronomist says, "sons of Levi" ( Deuteronomy 21:5 ; Deuteronomy 31:9 ). The priesthood, at its institution, having been entrusted to Aaron and his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:15-16

Appointed ministrations. The priests were an essential element in the Mosaic system, and their duties were prescribed with a precise exactness. After the Captivity, they still fulfilled their appointed duties, although their relative importance was probably diminished, whilst the scribes became growingly the religious leaders and teachers of the people. In the dispensation of the Spirit, the priesthood, so far as it is perpetuated, has been widened so as to include the whole Christian... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 44:15-16

Fidelity and its reward. We do not suppose that the statement respecting the sons of Zadok is to be pressed to historical exactitude. Their steadfastness is assumed for the purpose of exhortation, to point out the reward of fidelity in the kingdom of God. We have— I. THE FACT AND THE ACCOUNT OF UNFAITHFULNESS . There is no more patent fact before our eyes than that men do "go astray;' they go astray, like these Levites, from God, from truth, from wisdom, from purity,... read more
