Ezekiel 46

Studie

   

1 siger den Herre HE EN: Den indre forgårds østport skal være lukket de seks hverdage, men på Sabbatsdagen skal den åbnes, ligeledes på Nymånedagen:

2 og Fyrsten skal udefra gå ind gennem Portens Forhal og stille sig ved Portens Dørstolpe. Præsterne skal ofre hans Brændoffer og Takofre, og han skal tilbede på Portens Tærskel og så gå ud igen; og Porten skal stå åben til Affen.

3 Men Folket i Landet skal på Sabbaterne og Nymånedagene tilbede for HE ENs Åsyn ved denne Ports Indgang.

4 Det Brændoffer, Fyrsten bringer HE EN på Sabbatsdagen, skal udgøre seks lydefri Lam og en lydefri Væder,

5 dertil et Afgrødeoffer på en Efa med Væderen og et Afgrødeoffer efter Behag med Lammene, desuden en Hin Olie med hver Efa.

6 På Nymånedagen skal det udgøre en ung, lydefri Tyr, seks Lam og en Væder, lydefri Dyr;

7 med Tyren skal han ofre et Afgrødeoffer på en Efa, med Væderen ligeledes en Efa og med Lammene efter Behag desuden en Hin Olie med hver Efa.

8 Når Fyrsten går ind, skal han komme gennem Portens Forhal, og samme Vej skal han gå ud;

9 men når Folket i Landet konmmer for HE ENs Åsyn på Festerne, skal den, der kommer ind gennem Nordporten for at tilbede, gå ud gennem Sydporten, og den, der kommer ind gennem Sydporten, gå ud genmmem Nordporten; han må ikke vende tilbage gennem den Port, han kom ind ad, men skal gå ud på den modsatte Side.

10 Fyrsten skal være iblandt dem; når de går ind, skal han også gå ind, og når de går ud, skal han også gå ud.

11 På Festerne og Højtiderne skal Afgrødeofferet være en Efa med hver Tyr og ligeledes en Efa med hvem Væder, men med Lammene efter Behag; desuden en Hin Olie med hver Efa.

12 Når Fyrsten ofrer et frivilligt Offer, et Brændoffer eller Takofre som frivilligt ofer til HE EN, skal man åbne Østporten for ham, og han skal ofre sit Brændoffer eller sine Takofre, som han gør på Sabbatsdagen; og når han er gået ud, skal man lukke Porten efter ham.

13 Et årgammelt, lydefrif Lam skal han daglig ofre som Brændoffer for HE EN; hver Morgen skal han ofre det;

14 og dertil skal han hver Morgen sonm Afgrødeoffer ofre en Sjettedel Efa og til af fugte Melet desuden en Tredjedel Hin Olie; det er et Afgmødeoffer for HE EN, en evigt gældende Ordning.

15 Således skal de hver Morgen ofre Lammet, Afgrødeofferet og Olien som dagligt Brændoffer.

16 siger den Herre HE EN: Når Fyrsten giver en af sine Sønner en Gave af sin Arvelod, skal den tilhøre hans Sønner; den skal være deres arvelige grundejendom;

17 men giver han en af sine Tjenere en Gave af sin Arvelod, skal den kun tilhøre ham til Frigivningsåret; så skal den vende tilbage til Fyrsten. Kun hans Sønner skal varigt eje en sådan Arvelod.

18 Og Fyrsten må ikke tage noget af Folkets Arvelod, idet han med Vold trænger dem ud af deres Grundejendom; af sin egen Grundejendom skal han give sine Sønner Arvelod, at ingen i mit Folk skal jages bort fra sin Grundejendom.

19 Derpå førte han mig ind gennem Indgangen ved Siden af Porten til de hellige Kamre, som var indrettet til Præsterne og vendte mod Nord, og se, der var et um i den inderste krog mod Vest.

20 Han sagde til mig: "Her er det um, hvor Præsterne skal koge Syndofferet og Skyldoferet og bage Afgrødeofferet for ikke at tvinges til at bringe det ud i den ydre Forgård og således hellige Folket."

21 Så bragte han mig ud i den ydre Forgård og førte mig rundt til Forgårdens fire Hjørner, og se, i hvert Hjørne var der et Gårdsrum;

22 i Forgårdens fire Hjørner var der små Gårdsrum, fyrretyve Alen lange og tredive Alen brede, alle fire lige store;

23 der var Mure rundt om dem alle fire, og der var indrettet Køkkener rundt om langs Murene.

24 Og han sagde til mig: "Her er Køkkenerne, hvor de, der gør Tjemmesle i Templet, skal koge Folkets Slagtofre."

53. 25. A day of cloud and thick darkness (Ezekiel 34:12).

(I will make Mount Seir and the cities thereof into a waste and devastation, into a waste of eternity (Ezekiel 35:3-4, 7, 9, 12, 14-15).

Then the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built (Ezekiel 36:10).

When I shall sanctify Myself among you, then I will give you a new heart, and I will give a new spirit in the midst of you and I will take away the heart of stone, and will give you a heart of flesh, and I will give a new spirit in your midst, and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God (Ezekiel 36:23, 26-28).

In the day that I have cleansed you from all your iniquities, I will make you to dwell in cities, and the waste places shall be built; they shall say, This land that was devastated is become as the garden of Eden, and the desolate and devastated cities are fortified and inhabited (Ezekiel 36:33-38).

Behold I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will lead you upon the land of Israel, and I will put my spirit in you that ye may live (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Concerning the dry bones: by the inflowing of the breath among them, and their living again, regeneration is described.

After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter days they shall come upon the land that was made a waste (Ezekiel 38:8, 16).

They shall bury Gog in the day in which I shall be glorified (Ezekiel 39:11-12, 13). Gog is one who is in external worship, but not in internal.

Of the great sacrifices upon the mountains of Israel, and that thus He will set His glory among the nations that they may know that Jehovah is their God from that day, and hence-forward (Ezekiel 39:17-22).

Of the New Church which is described by many things in Ezekiel 40-48: of the city which is the New Jerusalem, and of its gates (40): of the temple, etc. (41): of the court and of the chambers there (42): of the eastern gate where the glory of the God of Israel is seen, and of His worship (43): next of His worship and of ministration (44): of the statutes for the prince (45, 46): of waters from the house (47) of the allotment of the land according to tribes (47, 48). That the name of the city is, Jehovah there (48:35).

Ezekiel 44

Studie

   

1 Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.

2 Yahweh said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.

3 As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before Yahweh; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

4 Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh: and I fell on my face.

5 Yahweh said to me, Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the house of Yahweh, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.

6 You shall tell the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,

7 in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, [to add] to all your abominations.

8 You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.

9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.

10 But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.

12 Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord Yahweh, and they shall bear their iniquity.

13 They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

14 Yet will I make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done therein.

15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Yahweh:

16 they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.

17 It shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

18 They shall have linen tires on their heads, and shall have linen breeches on their waists; they shall not clothe themselves with [anything that causes] sweat.

19 When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy rooms; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.

20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor allow their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.

21 Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.

22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.

23 They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

24 In a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to my ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall make my Sabbaths holy.

25 They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.

26 After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.

27 In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the Lord Yahweh.

28 They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.

29 They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.

30 The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest: you shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.

31 The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or animal.
