Ezekiel 46:23 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about. It was made with boiling places - These were uncovered apartments, where they kept fires for dressing those parts of the peace-offerings, which were made in the temple by individuals through a principle of devotion. On these their families and their friends feasted; and portions were sent to the poor, the widows, and the orphans. And thus the spirit of devotion was the means of preserving the spirit of mercy, charity, and benevolence in the land. How true is that word, "Godliness is profitable for all things."
