Ezequiel 44:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 44:16

They shall enter into my sanctuary
Both to officiate, and to participate, which strangers and uncircumcised persons might not do, ( Ezekiel 44:9 ) : and they shall come near to my table to minister unto me;
which some understand of the altar of burnt offering, which was as a table, and the sacrifice on it was the food of the Lord, ( Leviticus 3:11 Leviticus 3:16 ) , others, the altar of incense; see ( Ezekiel 41:22 ) . Kimchi interprets it of the table of shewbread; but, whatever is meant in the letter, the mystical sense is, the ordinance of the Lord's supper, called the Lord's table, ( 1 Corinthians 10:21 ) , a table richly spread, and well furnished with spiritual provision: here Christ himself sits, bids his people welcome, eats with them, and they with him; and here all the saints are guests, and ministers in particular officiate: and they shall keep my charge;
continue to do so; for this they did before, ( Ezekiel 44:15 ) , but now should be confirmed in their office, and never be displaced, as others; they that honour God he will honour, ( 1 Samuel 2:30 ) .

Ezequiel 44:16 In-Context

14 Contudo, eu os constituirei guardas da ordenança no tocante ao templo, em todo o serviço dele, e em tudo o que nele se fizer.
15 Mas os sacerdotes levĂ­ticos, os filhos de Zadoque, que guardaram a ordenança a respeito do meu santuĂ¡rio, quando os filhos de Israel se extraviaram de mim, eles se chegarĂ£o a mim, para me servirem; e estarĂ£o diante de mim, para me oferecerem a gordura e o sangue, diz o Senhor Deus;
16 eles entrarĂ£o no meu santuĂ¡rio, e se chegarĂ£o � minha mesa, para me servirem, e guardarĂ£o a minha ordenança.
17 Quando entrarem pelas portas do Ă¡trio interior, estarĂ£o vestidos de vestes de linho; e nĂ£o se porĂ¡ lĂ£ sobre eles, quando servirem nas portas do Ă¡trio interior, e dentro da casa.
18 Coifas de linho terĂ£o sobre as suas cabeças, e calções de linho sobre os seus lombos; nĂ£o se cingirĂ£o de coisa alguma que produza suor.
