Ezekiel 45:20 NIV

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 45:20

And so thou shall do the seventh day of the month ,.... Of the first month Nisan; here is another new rule or law, as Kimchi owns, of which no mention is made in the law of Moses: for everyone that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house ; or, "expiate" it F8 וכפר־תאם "ut expietis", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "et expiabitis", Cocceius, Starckius. ; make atonement for it; that is, for the house of God, the whole church, all his people;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:18-20

Sanctity of time and place. Human life on earth is conditioned by lime and place. It is a necessity of our existence here that we should occupy some definite place. It is a necessity that we should live during some duration of time. We are cradled amid outward circumstance. Until the soil has matured its powers, it is molded and modified by external surroundings. What these are, the character of the man, in great measure, will be. I. THE SANCTUARY IS THE FOUNTAIN - HEAD OF... 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 45:20

The same ceremony should be repeated on the seventh day of the month , not on the first day of the seventh month , as Smend proposes, in accordance with the λήψῃ , and on the ground that "the seventh day of (the same) mouth" would have been in Hebrew בְּשִׁבְעָה לֶחֹדֶשׁ , as in Ezekiel 1:1 ; Ezekiel 30:20 ; at the same time admitting that בַּחֹדֶשׁ is sometimes used ( Numbers 10:11 ), though not (except in this verse) by Ezekiel. The sin offerings in question... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:20

The erring and the simple. The sacrifices under the Law of Moses were not intended for presumptuous, high-handed sins of the worst kind (see Numbers 15:30 ; Deuteronomy 17:12 ). They were designed for the less grave offences, more especially for transgressions of the ceremonial law. Here we have an injunction requiring a general, and not individual, offering to be rendered on behalf of those who had been inadvertently led into error, or who, by reason of mental simplicity, had failed... 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
