Hesekiel 42:13

13 Und er sprach zu mir: Die Zellen im Norden und die Zellen im Süden, welche vor dem abgesonderten Platze sind, sind die heiligen Zellen, wo die Priester, welche Jehova nahen, die hochheiligen Dinge essen sollen. Dahin sollen sie die hochheiligen Dinge legen, sowohl das Speisopfer als auch das Sündopfer und das Schuldopfer; denn der Ort ist heilig.

Hesekiel 42:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 42:13

Then said he unto me
The divine Person that measured and described these chambers, and brought the prophet to take a view of them, said to him, as follows: the north chambers, and the south chambers, which are before the
separate place, they be holy chambers;
these are the two rows of chambers before described, which were southward and northward to each other, though both in the northern part of the outward court; these were for holy persons to dwell in, and for holy things to be done in, as the churches of Christ are; they consist of holy persons, men called with a holy calling, and in them the holy word of God is preached, and holy ordinances administered: where the priests that approach unto the Lord shall eat the most holy
things;
which is to be understood not of the ministers of the Gospel, for whom a proper maintenance is to be provided, and who should live of the Gospel they preach; but of all the saints, who are made priests to God by Christ; and who approach unto the Lord by him, in his name and righteousness, and by the faith of him, with true hearts, in a spiritual manner; and which is profitable to themselves, and acceptable to God; for whom spiritual provisions are made in his house: these have most holy things to eat of, the holy word of God, the law part of which is holy, just, and good; and the Gospel part is our most holy faith, which is food for faith, savoury and salutary, milk for babes, and meat for strong men; and which is found and eaten, and digested by them: also our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the most holy, and is the sum and substance of the word and ordinances, and the food of believers, the bread of life, the hidden manna, the Lamb of God, and fatted calf; whose flesh and blood are meat and drink indeed, and are eaten and fed upon by faith. There shall they lay the most holy things;
lay up the word of God in their minds and memories, and remember the love of God, his sufferings and death, and the benefits arising from them, particularly in the ordinance of the supper: and the meat offering;
the "minchah", or bread offering, made of fine flour, typical of Christ, the bread of life: and the sin, offering, and the trespass offering;
both typical of Christ, made sin for his people; and who, by one sacrifice of himself, has made atonement for it, and an end of it; (See Gill on Ezekiel 40:39), these were called the most holy things, and were laid up in the sanctuary for the priests and their families to live upon, ( Leviticus 6:17 ) : for the place is holy:
the place of these chambers holy, as the temple itself, where these most holy things and holy persons were.

Hesekiel 42:13 In-Context

11 und ein Weg vor ihnen, von gleicher Gestalt wie die Zellen, die gegen Norden waren, wie nach ihrer Länge so nach ihrer Breite, und nach allen ihren Ausgängen wie nach ihren Einrichtungen.

12 Und wie ihre Eingänge, so waren auch die Eingänge der Zellen, welche gegen Süden waren: ein Eingang am Anfang des Weges, des Weges, welcher gegenüber der entsprechenden Mauer war gegen Osten, wenn man zu ihnen kam.

13 Und er sprach zu mir: Die Zellen im Norden und die Zellen im Süden, welche vor dem abgesonderten Platze sind, sind die heiligen Zellen, wo die Priester, welche Jehova nahen, die hochheiligen Dinge essen sollen. Dahin sollen sie die hochheiligen Dinge legen, sowohl das Speisopfer als auch das Sündopfer und das Schuldopfer; denn der Ort ist heilig.

14 Wenn die Priester hineingehen, so sollen sie nicht aus dem Heiligtum in den äußeren Vorhof hinausgehen, sondern sollen dort ihre Kleider niederlegen, in welchen sie den Dienst verrichten; denn sie sind heilig; sie sollen andere Kleider anziehen und sich dem nahen, was für das Volk ist.

15 Und als er die Maße des inneren Hauses vollendet hatte, führte er mich hinaus des Weges zum Tore, das gegen Osten gerichtet war; und er maß es ringsherum.
