Ezekiel 46:22-24 ASV

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

In the four corners of the court there were courts joined ,.... To the side walls of the outward court, which met in right angles: or, "were made with chimneys" F18 חצרות קטרות "atria caminata", Junius & Tremellius, Polanus, Cocceius; "fumosa", Tigurine version, Castalio; "fumigata", Starckius. , as some render it; that the smoke of the fire of the kitchens in them, and the steam of the boiled flesh, might ascend through them. So the Jewish writers, as Jarchi and Kimchi, from... read more

And there was a row of building round about in them ,.... Within the courts, not on the outside of them: these were either chambers to eat the sacrifices in when boiled; or they were sheds which covered the cooks, and the meat they were boiling, from the rain, &c.;: the Targum renders it, "and walls were made to them round about;' to the court: and so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret this row of building of a stone wall: round about them four ; the four courts at the four corners: ... read more

Then said he unto me, these are the places of them that boil ,.... The kitchens, in which those whose business it was to boil the sacrifices did it; and who they were are next declared: where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people ; these seem to be the Levites, as distinct from the priests before mentioned; though in this prophecy they are both used of the same persons; see Ezekiel 44:15 , the sacrifice of the people were the peace offerings, which the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 46:23

It was made with boiling places - These were uncovered apartments, where they kept fires for dressing those parts of the peace-offerings, which were made in the temple by individuals through a principle of devotion. On these their families and their friends feasted; and portions were sent to the poor, the widows, and the orphans. And thus the spirit of devotion was the means of preserving the spirit of mercy, charity, and benevolence in the land. How true is that word, "Godliness is... read more

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 46:21-22

The prophet next observed, as his guide led him round the outer area, that in every corner of the court there was a court —literally, a court in a corner of the court , a court in a corner of the court—and hat these were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad . The word "joined" קְטֻרוֹת ) has been variously translated: by Gesenins (see 'Hebrews Lex.,' sub voce ), as "vaulted" or "roofed," with which Hitzig seems to agree; by the LXX ; whom Bottcher and Ewald... read more

And there was a row of building round about in them ; but whether טוֹר meant a "wall," "fence," or "enclosure," as Gesenius, Havernick, and Ewald translate, or "row," "series," "a shelf of brickwork which had several separate shelves under which the cooking-hearths were placed," as Keil explains, the obvious intention was to describe the range of boiling places which were built along the inside walls of these corner courts, as the next verse states. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 46:24

These are the places (literally, houses) of them that boil —hence kitchens— where the ministers of the house (or, romple)—e.g. the Levites (see Ezekiel 44:11 , Ezekiel 44:12 )— shall boil the sacrifice of the people ; i.e. the portions of the people's offerings which fall to be consumed by the priests. read more
