Ezequiel 43:1-6

1 Então me levou � porta, � porta que dá para o oriente.

2 E eis que a glória do Deus de Israel vinha do caminho do oriente; e a sua voz era como a voz de muitas águas, e a terra resplandecia com a glória dele.

3 E a aparência da visão que tive era como a da visão que eu tivera quando ele veio destruir a cidade; eram as visões como a que tive junto ao rio Quebar; e caí com o rosto em terra.

4 E a glória do Senhor entrou no templo pelo caminho da porta oriental.

5 E levantou-me o Espírito, e me levou ao átrio interior; e eis que a glória do Senhor encheu o templo.

6 Então ouvi uma voz que me foi direita de dentro do templo; e um homem se achava de pé junto de mim.

Ezequiel 43:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 43

The temple or house of God being measured, the worship of God in it is pointed out and observed in this and the following chapter; and which, though evangelical, is expressed in the language of the Old Testament. An account is given of the glory of the Lord returning to the house, and the way he did, and his taking possession of it, which the prophet was favoured with a view of, Eze 43:1-5, a promise is made of his continuance there, provided his people behaved as they should, Eze 43:6-9, an order is given to the prophet, to show them the form and fashion, the laws, orders, and ordinances of the house to them, to be observed by them, Eze 43:10-12, then follows the measuring of the altar of burnt offerings; which, though measured before in chapter forty, the dimensions are here given, Eze 43:13-17, and the chapter is concluded with directions about the consecration of it, Eze 43:18-27.
