Ezekiel 45:14-24

14 and the prescribed portion of oil (namely, the bath of oil ), a tenth of a bath from each kor (which is ten baths or a homer, for ten baths are a homer );

15 and one sheep from each flock of two hundred from the watering places of Israel -for a ¹grain offering, for a burnt offering and for peace offerings, to ²make atonement for them," declares the Lord GOD.

16 "³All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the ⁴prince in Israel.

17 "It shall be the ⁵prince's part to provide the ⁶burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the drink offerings, at the ⁷feasts, on the ⁸new moons and on the sabbaths, at all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel; he shall provide the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering and the ⁹peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel."

18 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "In the ¹⁰first month, on the first of the month, you shall take a young bull ¹¹without blemish and ¹²cleanse the sanctuary.

19 "The priest shall take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the door posts of the house, on the ¹³four corners of the ¹⁴ledge of the altar and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.

20 "Thus you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who goes ¹⁵astray or is naive; so you shall make ¹⁶atonement for the house.

21 "In the ¹⁷first month, on the fourteenth * day of the month, you shall have the ¹⁸Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.

22 "On that day the prince shall provide for himself and all the people of the land a ¹⁹bull for a sin offering.

23 "During the ²⁰seven days of the feast he shall provide as a ²¹burnt offering to the LORD ²²seven bulls and seven rams without blemish on every day of the seven days, and a male goat daily for a sin offering.

24 "He shall provide as a ²³grain offering an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram and a hin of oil with an ephah.

Ezekiel 45:14-24 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 45

This chapter treats of the division of the land in future time, and the persons and uses for which it is to be made; one part being for the sanctuary, and the priests that serve in it, and for their houses for them to dwell in, Eze 45:1-4, another for the Levites and their chambers, Eze 45:5, and another for the city, for the Israelites in common, Eze 45:6, and the last for the prince; and of the situation and extent of it, Eze 45:7,8 and of the righteous administration of civil government in the time of the spiritual reign of Christ, in abstinence from violence and exactions, and doing justice, for which orders and directions are given, Eze 45:9-12, then of the oblations of the people of the land, Eze 45:13-16, and next of those that are to be prepared by the prince, Eze 45:17, and the times of the offering of them, at the beginning of the year, on the feasts of the passover and tabernacles, Eze 45:18-25, the rules for which are so different from the Mosaic law, as show the abrogation of that; and that all this is to be understood in a spiritual and evangelic sense.
