Ezekiel 45:16 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 45:16

All the people of the land shall give this oblation
None shall be exempted from it; all according to their capacity and ability shall contribute to the support of the ministry, and the service of religion: for the prince in Israel;
not the high priest, nor the civil magistrate, but the Prince Messiah: or rather "to the prince in Israel" ^F4; what the people shall do in this way, they shall do it as to the Lord, freely and cordially, and for his honour and glory; and he will take it as done to himself; see ( Matthew 10:41 Matthew 10:42 ) .
