Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-15

Whether the rules for public worship here laid down were designed to be observed, even in those things wherein they differed from the law of Moses, and were so observed under the second temple, is not certain; we find not in the history of that latter part of the Jewish church that they governed themselves in their worship by these ordinances, as one would think they should have done, but only by law of Moses, looking upon this then in the next age after as mystical, and not literal. We may... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:13

Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the Lord ,.... Called the daily sacrifice, Daniel 8:11 typical of Christ's sacrifice, which has a continual daily virtue in it, to take away the sins of his people; and which ought to be looked unto faith, and pleaded by them for that purpose every day John 1:29 , of a lamb of the first year without a blemish ; a type of Christ the Lamb of God, without spot and blemish, strong and able, and so fit and proper to be a sacrifice for the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:14

And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for morning ,.... That is, for the daily burnt offering to go along with it; prayer and thanksgiving for our temporal and spiritual food, which should be done every morning: the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour ; to mix with it, and moisten it: under the law, only a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, and a fourth part of a hin of oil, were ordered to make this meat offering of, Exodus... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:15

Thus shall they prepare ,.... This shows that not a single person is meant in the preceding verses, but all the Lord's people; who are all priests unto God, and who are to offer up daily spiritual sacrifices unto him: the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil every morning, for a continual burnt offering ; which is repeated for the confirmation of it, and to excite a careful and constant attention to it. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:13

Thou shalt prepare it every morning - The evening offering is entirely omitted, which makes an important difference between this and the old laws. See Exodus 29:31-46. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:1-15

The supplementary directions contained in these verses relate to the worship of the prince and the people on the sabbaths and the new moons ( Ezekiel 46:1-7 ) and at the appointed feasts generally ( Ezekiel 46:5-15 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:13

The homing sacrifice. I. THE MORNING SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO GOD . Then especially worship is fitting. It is sad to begin the day without prayer. But the fresh morning devotion has a preciousness of its own. 1. Then we awake from sleep . It is happy indeed to wake to some good thought of God. He has preserved us through the long hours of darkness. New strength has come by refreshing rest, and this is God's gift. Therefore grateful thoughts should rise with morning... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:13

The daily offering. There is nothing inconsistent in the combination of special solemnities observed upon certain occasions with the regular daily worship. They are not contradictory of, but complementary to, each other. If there is an adaptation between annual festivals and one principle of human nature, there is an equal adaptation between another tendency of that nature and the constantly recurring daily sacrifice of prayer and praise. Accordingly, in this same chapter are found... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:13-15

supply closing instructions for the daily sacrifice. The daily burnt offering should be a lamb of the first year ; literally, a son of his year ; whereas the Law of Moses required a lamb twice a day ( Exodus 29:38-42 ; Numbers 28:1-8 ). The daily meat (or, meal) offering to accompany this should be the sixth part of an ephah , instead of a tenth as under Moses, and the third part of a hin of oil , instead of a fourth as prescribed by the earlier legislation, to temper with — ... read more
