The Prophet Ezekiel: An Analytical Exposition
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Bible. Ezekiel -- Commentaries
After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the
gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the
north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil
the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake
the meal offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court,
to sanctify the people. Then he brought me forth into the utter
court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and,
behold, in every corner of the court there was a court. In the four
corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long
and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure. And there
was a row of buildings round about them, round about them four, and
it was made with boiling places under the rows round about. Then
said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the
ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people
(verses 19-24).
Again the prophet is brought by the northern gate to the side where the
holy chambers of the priests are located. There he saw a place on the
two sides westward. The use of this place is made known in verse 20. The
final description of buildings round about the court needs no further
comment.
THE VISION CONCERNING THE LAND.
Chapter xlvii.
The preceding chapters of this final section of the Book of Ezekiel
contain the vision of the Temple and its worship. The last two chapters
give a vision of Israel's land as it will be during the coming age.
I. The Temple Stream and its Healing Waters.
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and,
behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward: for the forefront of the house was the east, and the
waters came down from under from the right side of the house, from
the south of the altar. Then brought he me out by the way of the
gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the outer gate
toward the gate that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out
waters on the right side. And when the man went forth eastward, he
had a line in his hand, and he measured a thousand cubits, and he
brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. Again
he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the
waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought
me through; the waters were to the loins. Afterward he measured a
thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the
waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be
passed over.
