Ezekiel 46:13

Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering, or peace offerings voluntarily unto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east ... then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. Not only is he to perform official acts of worship on holy days and feasts, but in "voluntary" offerings daily he is to show his individual zeal, surpassing all his people in liberality, and so setting them a princely example. The prince goes forth on the most solemn occasions, not only holy days, but when of...

Verse Ezekiel 46:13. _THOU SHALT PREPARE IT EVERY MORNING._] The _evening_ offering is entirely omitted, which makes an important difference between this and the old laws. See Exodus 29:31-2....

Compare with marginal references. The evening sacrifice is here omitted, because the seer is selecting a few only of the sacrifices of the Law, with a particular object in view....

EXPOSITION This chapter fails into three divisions. The first (Ezekiel 46:1) gives supplementary directions for the prince and the people of the land when engaged in solemn acts of worship; the second (Ezekiel 46:16) furnishes the prince with instructions as to how he may dispose of his portion or inheritance; the third (Ezekiel 46:19) adds particulars about the sacrificial kitchens for the priests and for the people. EZEKIEL 46:1 The supplementary directions contained in these verses relate to the worship of the prince and the people on the sabbaths and the new moons ...

THOU SHALT DAILY PREPARE A BURNT OFFERING UNTO THE LORD,.... Called the daily sacrifice, Daniel 8:11 typical of Christ's sacrifice, which has a continual daily virtue in it, to take away the sins of his people; and which ought to be looked unto faith, and pleaded by them for that purpose every day John 1:29: OF A LAMB OF THE FIRST YEAR WITHOUT A BLEMISH; a type of Christ the Lamb of God, without spot and blemish, strong and able, and so fit and proper to be a sacrifice for the sins of others: THOU SHALT PREPARE IT EVERY MORNING; or, "morning by morning" m; this seems to be said not to the prince, but rather to the prophet, and indeed to every believer; who should, every morning he rises, look to Christ as the atoning sacrifice for sin, whose blood continually cleanses from it,

THE SABBATH, NEW MOON, AND OTHER FESTIVALS. On the Sabbath day, seven animals, besides meal and oil, were to be offered; on the new moon the offering was the same, with the addition of a bullock. The prince, who might not enter into the sacred inner court, watched the sacrifice being offered from his place at the threshold of its eastern gate (Ezekiel 46:1). To prevent confusion the worshippers were obliged to leave the outer court by the opposite gate from that by which they had entered (Ezekiel 46:8 f.). It was the prince's duty to provide for the daily burnt offering. When, in addition to this, he made a free-will offering, the eastern gate of the inner court was opened for him, as on the Sabbath and new moon (Ezekiel
