Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 46:19-24

We have here a further discovery of buildings about the temple, which we did not observe before, and those were places to boil the flesh of the offerings in, Ezek. 46:20. He that kept such a plentiful table at his altar needed large kitchens; and a wise builder will provide conveniences of that kind. Observe, 1. Where those boiling-places were situated. There were some at the entry into the inner court (Ezek. 46:19) and others under the rows, in the four corners of the outer court, Ezek.... read more

After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate ,.... The north gate of the inner court, where the prophet was last, Ezekiel 44:4 , through an entry, by the side of that, he was brought by the man his guide: into the holy chambers of the priests ; see Ezekiel 42:13 , and, behold, there was a place in the two sides westward ; or, "on their sides westward" F16 בירכ־תאם "in lateribus ejus vel eorum, in extremo", Starckius. ; on the west side of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 46:20

Then said he unto me ,.... Declaring what this place was, and what it was for: this is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering, and the sin offering ; this was the priests' kitchen, in which they prepared the sacrifices that were to be eaten; and which were typical of Christ, who was made sin, and became a sacrifice for the sins of his people, whether presumptuous ones, or sins of ignorance; the doctrine of whose sacrifice and satisfaction is a principal part of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:19

He brought me thorough the entry - The prophet had entered by the north gate of the court of the priests, where he had seen, a little before, the glory of the Lord, and where he had received all those directions from Ezekiel 44:4 , Ezekiel 44:5 , to this chapter. From that gate, (see plan Q.) he entered the vestibule by a gate which was by the side of the apartments of the priests, which were along this aisle, (see S.) to the right of the vestibule towards the west. At the extremity of a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:19

After (or, and) he — i.e. the measuring man, who had hitherto acted as the prophet's conductor— brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate. This was the inner north gate, from which the prophet had been conducted to the front of the house in order to receive the sacrificial Torah ( Ezekiel 44:4 ), and to which, when this was finished, he had been seemingly led back. From this gate, then, he was taken by his guide along the entry or passage ( Ezekiel 42:9 ),... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:19-24

The sacrificial kitchens for the priests and for the people. This passage has been transferred by Ewald to Ezekiel 42:1-20 ; and inserted after Ezekiel 42:14 ; but the Exposition will show it must have originally stood where it is. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:20

The "place" was designed as a kitchen where the priests should boil the trespass and the sin offerings and bake the meat (or, meal) offering, i.e. cook the portions of the sacrifices they should eat in their official capacity (see Ezekiel 42:13 ). The Law of Moses (Le 8:31) required the flesh to be boiled (and probably also the flour to be baked) at the tabernacle door. The last clause, that they , i.e. the priests, bear them, i.e. the offerings, not out into the utter (or,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 46:19-24

The careful provision here made to keep separate the offerings of priests and people was to prevent collision, just as the enactments Ezekiel 46:16-18 were intended to secure their respective rights to prince and people.Ezekiel 46:19At the side of the gate - The entrance to the inner court at the same side as the northern gate Ezekiel 42:9.Ezekiel 46:20See M Plan II.Boil - It was unique to the Paschal lamb, that it was to be eaten roasted. The flesh of the other sacrifices was to be “sodden” or... read more
