46 y la cámara cuya fachada da al norte, es para los sacerdotes encargados del altar. Estos son los hijos de Sadoc, que, de los hijos de Leví, se acercan al SEÑOR para servirle.

Ezequiel 40:46 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 40:46

And the chamber whose prospect is towards the north
The row of chambers on the side of the east gate; that side of it that was towards the north, and which the chambers in it faced: is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar;
the ministers of the Gospel, that take care of the altar, of public worship; that preach the Gospel, and administer ordinances; and who are to be taken care of themselves, and live of the Gospel, and have everything provided for them that is necessary, ( 1 Corinthians 9:13 1 Corinthians 9:14 ) : these are the sons of Zadok, among the sons of Levi;
these Levites, or priests, were of the family of Zadok; who descended from Aaron, and was the eldest house of Aaron, to whom the priesthood belonged; though it had been usurped a long time by the family of Ithamar; but, in Solomon's time, Abiathar, of that family, was dispossessed of it, and Zadok was placed in his stead, whose name signifies "just", or righteous; and was a type of Christ, the holy and just One, whose spiritual children and offspring are here meant: which come near to the Lord to minister unto him;
both preachers and people, who have near access to God through Christ, and minister before him in holy things, in praying, preaching, administering ordinances, and attending on the same.

Ezequiel 40:46 In-Context

44 Fuera de la puerta interior, en el atrio interior, había dos cámaras , una de las cuales estaba al lado de la puerta del norte con su fachada hacia el sur, y una al lado de la puerta del sur con su fachada hacia el norte.

45 Y él me dijo: Esta cámara cuya fachada da al sur, es para los sacerdotes encargados del templo;

46 y la cámara cuya fachada da al norte, es para los sacerdotes encargados del altar. Estos son los hijos de Sadoc, que, de los hijos de Leví, se acercan al SEÑOR para servirle.

47 Y midió el atrio, un cuadrado de cien codos de largo y cien codos de ancho; y el altar estaba delante del templo.

48 Me llevó después al pórtico del templo y midió cada pilar del pórtico, cinco codos por un lado y cinco por el otro; y la anchura de la puerta, tres codos por un lado y tres codos por el otro.
