TSK - EZEKIEL 46

  1  Ordinances for the prince in his worship;
 9  and for the people.
16  An order for the prince's inheritance.
19  The courts for boiling and baking.


VERSE 1
- Thus saith.
  Whether the rules for public worship here laid down were
  designed to be observed in those things wherein they differed
  from the law of Moses, in the ministrations of the second
  temple, is not certain.  In the latter history of the Jewish
  church, the law of Moses only was followed, except in the
  corruption of following the traditions of the fathers.

- The gate.
  The prophet had before observed that the east gate of the
  outer court was shut, and was told that it must only be
  opened for the prince; and now he is informed that the gate
  of the inner court on the east was also shut, and is to be
  opened only on the sabbath and new moons, till the evening.

- shall be shut.
   * Eze 44:1,2
- six working.
   * Ge 3:19 Ex 20:9 Lu 13:14
- on the sabbath.
   * Eze 45:17 Isa 66:23 Heb 4:9,10


VERSE 2 
 - the porch.
   * Joh 10:1-3
- by the post.
   * :8; 44:3 2Ch 23:13; 34:31
- the priests.
   * Col 1:28
- prepare.
  Or, "offer," as the word {ƒsah} frequently denotes.  The
  whole of this seems to intimate the constant, reverential,
  and exemplary attendance of kings on the pure ordinances of
  religion, in the approaching flourishing days of the church.

- he shall worship.
   * 1Ki 8:22,23 1Ch 17:16; 29:10-12 2Ch 6:13; 29:29 Mt 26:39
   * Heb 5:7,8
- but the gate.
   * :12

VERSE 3
    * Lu 1:10 Joh 10:9 Heb 10:19-22


VERSE 4 
 - the burnt.
  The proportions of the burnt offerings, and also of the meat
  and drink offerings, are very different here form those
  prescribed in the Mosaic law.  The meat offering, under the
  law, was only three tenths of an {ephah} to a bullock, two
  tenths for a ram, and one tenth for a lamb, with the fourth
  part of a {hin} of oil.

   * Eze 45:17 Nu 28:9,10


VERSE 5 
 - the meat.
   * :7,11,12; 45:24 Nu 28:12
- as he shall be able to give.  Heb. the gift of his hand.
   * Le 14:21 Nu 6:21 De 16:17

VERSE 6
    * :6

VERSE 7


VERSE 8 
 - he shall go.
   * :2; 44:1-3 Col 1:18


VERSE 9 
 - when the people.
  This may intimate, that every thing should be regulated, in
  divine worship, so as to prevent disorder and interruption,
  and also that men should go forward and make progress in
  religion, and not turn their backs upon God.

- come before.
   * Ex 23:14-17; 34:23 De 16:16 Ps 84:7 Mal 4:4
- he that entereth in.
   * Eze 1:12,17 Php 3:13,14 Heb 10:38 2Pe 2:20,21

VERSE 10
    * 2Sa 6:14-19 1Ch 29:20,22 2Ch 6:2-4; 7:4,5; 20:27,28; 29:28,29
   * 2Ch 34:30,31 Ne 8:8,9 Ps 42:4; 122:1-4 Mt 18:20; 28:20 Heb 3:6

- the meat.
   * :5,7


VERSE 12 
 - a voluntary.
   * Le 1:3; 23:38 Nu 29:39 1Ki 3:4 1Ch 29:21 2Ch 5:6; 7:5-7; 29:31
   * Ezr 1:4; 3:5; 6:17 Ro 12:1 Eph 5:2
- open him.
   * :1,2,8; 44:3
- as he did.
   * Eze 45:17


VERSE 13 
 - Thou shalt daily.
  It is observable, that there is nothing said about the
  evening sacrifice, or the additional lamb, morning and
  evening, on the sabbath, which makes an important difference
  between this and the old laws; and is probably an intimation
  of that change in the external forms of religion which the
  coming of the Messiah should introduce.

   * Ex 29:38-42 Nu 28:3-8,10 Da 8:11-13 Joh 1:29 1Pe 1:19,20
   * Re 13:8
- of the first year.  Heb. a son of his year.
   * Ex 12:5 Le 12:6

   * Ro 8:15-17,29-32 Ga 4:7


VERSE 17 
 - to the year.
  That is, the year of Jubilee, called the year of liberty,
  because there was then a general release:  all servants had
  their liberty; and all alienated estates returned to their
  former owners.

   * Le 25:10 Mt 25:14-29 Lu 19:25,26 Ga 4:30,31

   * Ps 68:18 Joh 10:28 Eph 4:8
- my people.
   * Eze 34:3-6,21


VERSE 19 
 - the entry.
  This entry was at the west side of the north gate of the
  inner court.

   * Eze 40:44-46; 42:9 *(see ch: 4 44:4, 5:)
- a place.
  This place was at the west corners of the inner court, or
  court of the priests; where they prepared the most holy
  things, the trespass and sin offering, which none but the
  priests might eat; that they might not "bear them out into
  the utter court, to sanctify the people," that is, by
  touching them incapacitate them from discharging their
  ordinary occupations.

 - boil the trespass.
   * Eze 44:29 1Sa 2:13-15 2Ch 35:13

   * Eze 44:19


VERSE 21 
 - in every corner of the court there was a court.  Heb. a court
  in the corner of a court; and a court in a corner of a court.
   * :21


VERSE 22 
 - courts.
  These courts in the corners of the outer court, or court of
  the people, appear to have been a kind of uncovered
  apartments, surrounded with little chambers for the cooks,
  and used for dressing the peace offerings of the people.  On
  these their families and friends feasted; and portions were
  sent to the poor, the widow, and the orphan; and thus the
  spirit of devotion preserved the spirit of mercy, charity,
  and benevolence, in the land.

- joined.  or, made with chimneys.  corners.  Heb. cornered.
