The speaker is likely an angelic guide or the Lord Himself, as seen throughout Ezekiel's visions. This communication underscores the divine origin of the instructions and the importance of the message being conveyed.<p><b>These are the kitchens</b><br>The mention of "kitchens" highlights the practical aspects of temple worship. In the context of the temple, these kitchens were necessary for preparing the sacrificial meals. Archaeological findings in ancient Near Eastern temples often include areas designated for food preparation, supporting the historical accuracy of such details in Ezekiel's vision.<p><b>where those who minister at the temple</b><br>This refers to the Levitical priests, who were set apart for service in the temple. Their duties included offering sacrifices, maintaining the temple, and teaching the law. The role of the priests is central to the worship practices outlined in the Mosaic Law, emphasizing the need for holiness and order in approaching God.<p><b>will cook the sacrifices</b><br>Cooking the sacrifices was part of the ritual process, transforming the offerings into meals that could be consumed. This practice is rooted in the Levitical laws, where certain sacrifices, like peace offerings, were shared between the altar, the priests, and the offerer. It symbolizes fellowship with God and the community.<p><b>offered by the people</b><br>The involvement of the people in offering sacrifices highlights the communal aspect of worship. Sacrifices were a means for the Israelites to atone for sin, express gratitude, and seek fellowship with God. This phrase underscores the participatory nature of worship and the covenant relationship between God and His people.<br><br>This verse, within the broader context of Ezekiel's vision of a restored temple, points to a future hope of renewed worship and relationship with God. It also foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfills and transcends the sacrificial system, offering believers direct access to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel receives visions and messages from God concerning the future of Israel and the temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a></b><br>The central place of worship for the Israelites, symbolizing God's presence among His people.
