Ezekiel 45:21 ESV

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 45:21

In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month ,.... Of the month Nisan, that day fortnight from the cleansing of the sanctuary; and that day week from the expiation of the house, and the recovery and reception of backsliders: ye shall have the passover ; Christ the passover sacrificed for us; held forth in the ministry of the word, and in the ordinance of the Lord's supper; for the passover was a type of Christ: his purity and strength were signified by the lamb without blemish,... 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 45:21

With the fourteenth day of the month , the day appointed by the Law of Moses for the killing of the Paschal lamb ( Exodus 12:6 ), the Passover ( חַפָסַה with the article, the well-known festival of that name) should commence. Though the selection of the lamb upon the tenth day of the first month is not specified, it may be assumed that this would be implied in the appointment of a Passover which should begin on the day already legalized by the Mosaic Torah. According to Wellhausen... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 45:21

The moral of the Passover. This great feast, which was so solemnly though hastily inaugurated, and so solemnly and joyously renewed after a discreditable lapse ( Exodus 12:1-51 .; 2 Chronicles 30:1-27 .), had an historical and also a religious aspect. I. ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE . It recalled one great event of surpassing national interest; it brought back to memory the pitiless cruelty, the blind obduracy, the false confidence of Egypt, and, at the same time, the sad... 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

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
