Ezekiel 43:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:19

And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites, that be of the
seed of Zadok
Who, in Solomon's time, was put in the room of Abiathar; see ( Ezekiel 40:46 ) , his name signifies a "righteous" one, a type he was of Jesus Christ the righteous; and here his seed signify the seed of Christ, such whom he makes priests unto the Lord; to these, in a visionary way, the prophet was to give this altar, for them to serve at, and eat of; and all the rites and ordinances to observe and keep; and the sacrifices to offer on it, after mentioned: which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 40:46): a young bullock for a sin offering:
typical of Christ, strong and laborious, able to bear the sins of his people; to become a sin offering, and to be made sin itself for them.

Ezekiel 43:19 In-Context

17 The upper ledge also forms a square, measuring 24 feet by 24 feet, with a 21-inch gutter and a 10 -inch curb all around the edge. There are steps going up the east side of the altar.”

18 Then he said to me, “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: These will be the regulations for the burning of offerings and the sprinkling of blood when the altar is built.

19 At that time, the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who minister before me, are to be given a young bull for a sin offering, says the Sovereign LORD .

20 You will take some of its blood and smear it on the four horns of the altar, the four corners of the upper ledge, and the curb that runs around that ledge. This will cleanse and make atonement for the altar.

21 Then take the young bull for the sin offering and burn it at the appointed place outside the Temple area.
