Ezekiel 40:45 - Exposition

The priests, the keepers of the charge of the house . Under the Law the Levite families of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari had the charge of the tabernacle and all its belongings ( Numbers 3:25 , etc.); but of these Levites who kept the charge of the sanctuary, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest had the oversight. Hence the priests alluded to by Ezekiel as the keepers of the charge of the house were most likely those who superintended the Levites in the execution of their tasks.
