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 Servirán como cuidadores del templo a cargo del trabajo de mantenimiento y las tareas generales.

15 »”Sin embargo, los sacerdotes levitas de la familia de Sadoc continuaron sirviendo fielmente en el templo cuando los israelitas me abandonaron para rendir culto a ídolos. Estos hombres servirán como ministros míos. Estarán en mi presencia y ofrecerán la grasa y la sangre de los sacrificios, dice el Señor
Soberano.

16 Solo ellos entrarán en mi santuario y se acercarán a mi mesa para servirme. Ellos cumplirán todos mis requisitos.

17 »”Cuando entren por la puerta al atrio interior, deben vestir solamente ropa de lino. No se vestirán con lana cuando estén de turno en el atrio interior o en el templo mismo.

18 Llevarán puestos turbantes de lino y ropa interior de lino. No deberán vestir nada que los haga transpirar.
