Ezequiel 44:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 44:26

And after he is cleansed
From any sin or iniquity, failing and imperfection, that he has been guilty of at such seasons, in mourning for the dead, by a fresh application of the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin; typified by the water of separation, made of the ashes of the red heifer, by which those who were in this way ceremoniously unclean were cleansed, ( Hebrews 9:13 Hebrews 9:14 ) : they shall reckon unto him seven days;
that is, seven days shall be reckoned from the time of his cleansing, before he enters on public service again: according to the old law, seven days were reckoned from the defilement to the purification; here seven more are numbered after the purification is made; and therefore, as Kimchi truly notes, this is a new law or rule, to be observed in after times.

Ezequiel 44:26 In-Context

24 »”En cualquier pleito, los sacerdotes fungirán como jueces y juzgarán según mis ordenanzas. En todas mis fiestas observarán mis leyes y mis preceptos, y observarán mis sábados, pues son días santos.

25 »”El sacerdote no deberá acercarse a un cadáver, para no contaminarse. Solo podrá contaminarse si el cadáver es de su propio padre, o de su madre, hijo, hija, hermano, o hermana soltera.

26 Si queda contaminado, deberá purificarse, y luego esperar siete días.

27 El día en que vuelva a entrar en el atrio interior del santuario para cumplir su servicio, deberá ofrecer su sacrificio por el pecado. Lo afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente.

28 »”Los sacerdotes no tendrán ninguna heredad, porque su heredad soy yo. Ustedes no les darán ninguna propiedad en Israel. Su propiedad soy yo.
