以西结书 44:12 RCUVSS

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 44:12

Because they ministered unto them before their idols ,.... Had officiated for them in the priest's office, their idols being in the courts of the Lord at the same time; or preached unto them false doctrines, such as are not agreeable to the word of God; and led them into superstition and will worship, and confirmed them therein: and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity ; or, "were for a stumbling block of iniquity" F8 למכשול עון "in offendiculum iniquitatis",... read more

Divine discrimination. The prophet is necessarily expressing himself in the terms of the old dispensation; and he declares, in God's name, that no man who has not received a right spirit ("uncircumcised in heart"), and that no man who has not been admitted to the citizenship of the kingdom of God ("uncircumcised in flesh"), can "enter the sanctuary"—can come into closest contact with, and render holiest service unto, the Lord (see Ezekiel 44:9 ). And he further declares that those of his... 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 44:10-14

The ordinance for the Levites . According to the so-called priest-code, the Levites were Levi's descendants, who were chosen by Jehovah for service in the tabernacle ( Numbers 3:6-13 ; Numbers 16:9 ), to minister to the priests when these sacrificed in the tabernacle ( Numbers 8:19 ; Numbers 18:6 ), and in particular to keep the charge of the tabernacle, i.e. of the house and all its vessels ( Numbers 1:53 ), as distinguished from the charge of the sanctuary and of the altar,... 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
