Ezekiel 43:19 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou shalt give; direct or command that it be given; for the prophet could not bestow such a gift on them. The priests the Levites; explaining who were meant by the priests. Zadok, who was put into Abiathar's room. See Ezekiel 40:46, Ezekiel 44:15. To minister unto me: see Ezekiel 42:13. A young bullock; the sacrifice appointed, Exodus 29:1,36, at the consecrating of the priests. For a sin offering; an expiatory sacrifice, to make an atonement for errors, and to reconcile the person that brought the sacrifice. New consecration and reconciliation, needful after so long an interruption of their ministration, and for such as never were before consecrated.

Ezekiel 43:19

19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
