14 And I will appoint them to guard the temple for all the work that is to be done in it.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
14 Yet I will appoint them to keep charge of the temple, to do all its service and all that is to be done in it.
14 From now on, their job is to sweep up and run errands. That's it.
14 Nevertheless I will make them keep charge of the temple, for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it.
14 They are to serve as the Temple caretakers, taking charge of the maintenance work and performing general duties.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 44:14
Chapter Summary
This chapter contains ordinances relative to the true priests. The prince evidently means Christ, and the words in verse 2, may remind us that no other can enter heaven, the true sanctuary, as Christ did; namely, by virtue of his own excellency, and his personal holiness, righteousness, and strength. He who is the Brightness of Jehovah's glory entered by his own holiness; but that way is shut to the whole human race, and we all must enter as sinners, by faith in his blood, and by the power of his grace.
