Ezekiel 44:14

Compare all

12 Because they ministered to them before their idols and ^acaused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore I have ^braised My hand in an oath against them,” says the Lord God, “that they shall bear their iniquity.

13 ^aAnd they shall not come near Me to minister to Me as priest, nor come near any of My holy things, nor into the Most Holy Place; but they shall ^bbear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.

14 Nevertheless I will make them ^akeep charge of the temple, for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it.

15 ^a“But the priests, the Levites, ^bthe sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary ^cwhen the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they ^dshall stand before Me to offer to Me the ^efat and the blood,” says the Lord God.

16 “They shall ^aenter My sanctuary, and they shall come near ^bMy table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.

17 And it shall be, whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, that ^athey shall put on linen garments; no wool shall come upon them while they minister within the gates of the inner court or within the house.

18 ^aThey shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.

Ezekiel 44:1-31

- This chapter contains ordinances relative to the true priests. The prince evidently means Christ, and the words in ver. 2 , may remind us that no other can enter heaven, the true sanctuary, as Christ did; namely, by virtue of his own excellency, and his personal holiness, righteousness, and strength. He who is the Brightness of Jehovah's glory entered by his own holiness; but that way is shut to the whole human race, and we all must enter as sinners, by faith in his blood, and by the power of his grace.
