Ezekiel 45:25

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 45:13-25

Having laid down the rules of the righteousness toward men, which is really a branch off true religion, he comes next to give some directions for their religion towards God, which is a branch of universal righteousness. I. It is required that they offer an oblation to the Lord out of what they have (Ezek. 45:13): All the people of the land must give an oblation, Ezek. 45:16. As God's tenants, they must pay a quitrent to their great landlord. They had offered an oblation out of their real... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 45:25

In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month ,.... The month Tisri, which answers to part of our September and October: shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days ; the feast of tabernacles, which began the fifteenth of Tisri, and was kept seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, which is not here taken notice of: this feast was in commemoration of the Jews dwelling in tabernacles in the wilderness; and was typical of Christ's tabernacling in our... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 45:25

In the seventh month - He shall do at the feast of tabernacles the same things that he was desired to do on the passover. The prince should offer the same number of victims, of the same quality, and with the same ceremonies, as during the above seven days. The offerings were, sin-offerings, burnt-offerings, and peace-offerings. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18-25

These verses allude to the institution of a new feast-cycle, whose deviations from that of the Pentateuch will be best exhibited in the course of exposition. Whether three festivals are referred to or only two is debated by expositors. Fairbairn, Havernick, Ewald, Keil, Schroder, and Plumptre decide for three—the festival of the new year ( Ezekiel 45:18-20 ), the Passover ( Ezekiel 45:21-24 ), and the Feast of Tabernacles ( Ezekiel 45:25 ). Kliefoth, Smend, and Curtsy find only two a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18-25

Sacred festivals. The prophet here refers to some of those great "feasts of the Jews" which formed so interesting a feature of the social and religious life of the chosen people. These references are suggestive of the spiritual privileges and religious exercises of the vaster Israel of God, which he has redeemed to himself by the death of his Son and consecrated to himself by the grace of his Spirit. Among the lessons which these festivals may thus convey may be mentioned— I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:25

In the seventh month , i.e. in month of Tishri ( 1 Kings 8:2 ), in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he , i.e. the prince, as in Ezekiel 45:22 , do the like in the feast of the seven days ; or, in the feast shall he do the like the seven days (Revised Version). That is, the same sacrifices should be offered daily throughout the seven days of this feast as had been offered during the seven days of the former feast. That this feast was designed to represent the ancient... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 45:18-25

This order of certain solemn services does not follow exactly the order of Moses, of Solomon, or of Ezra. The deviation can scarcely have been accidental, and furnishes a fresh indication that the whole vision is symbolic, representative of the times when, after the oblation of the one Sacrifice, reconciliation and sanctification were effected for man through the presence of God dwelling in the midst of the people.Ezekiel 45:18In the first day - If this is only a special Passover for the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 45:25

Ezekiel 45:25. In the seventh month According to their ecclesiastical account, which is Tisri, and answers to part of our August and September. In the fifteenth day, &c., shall he do the like Namely, the prince. On that day the feast of tabernacles began, and continued seven days. Here we see the deficiency of the legal sacrifices for sin; they were often repeated, not only every year, but every feast, and every day of the feast, because they could not make the comers thereunto... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 45:13-25

Offerings and festivals (45:13-46:15)All the people had a part in providing the offerings for national religious festivals. The offerings were collected by the king, who then offered them in sacrifice on behalf of his people (13-17). At the beginning and end of the first week of the new year, sacrifices were offered for the cleansing of the temple (18-20). The two main annual festivals to be celebrated at the temple were the Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread at the beginning of the year... read more
