The "day" signifies a particular moment of consecration and readiness, emphasizing the importance of timing in worship and service. The "sanctuary" refers to the holy place where God's presence dwells, a sacred space set apart for divine encounters. In Hebrew, "sanctuary" is "miqdash," denoting a consecrated place. This highlights the holiness required of those who approach God, reminding us of the reverence and preparation needed to enter His presence.<p><b>into the inner court</b><br />The "inner court" is a more restricted area within the temple, accessible only to those with specific roles and responsibilities. This term underscores the progression from the outer to the inner, symbolizing a deeper relationship and intimacy with God. Historically, the inner court was where the priests performed their duties, signifying a closer proximity to the divine. This progression reflects the spiritual journey of drawing nearer to God, requiring purity and dedication.<p><b>to minister in the sanctuary</b><br />"To minister" involves serving and performing duties that honor God. The Hebrew word "sharat" conveys the idea of attending to or serving, often used in the context of priestly duties. This service is not merely a ritual but an act of worship and obedience. The phrase "in the sanctuary" reiterates the sacredness of the service, emphasizing that ministry is conducted in a holy context, set apart for God's purposes.<p><b>he must offer his sin offering</b><br />The requirement to "offer his sin offering" highlights the necessity of atonement and purification before serving in God's presence. The "sin offering," or "chatat" in Hebrew, was a sacrifice made to atone for unintentional sins, symbolizing the cleansing needed to approach a holy God. This act of offering underscores the gravity of sin and the provision God has made for reconciliation, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ for our sins.<p><b>declares the Lord GOD</b><br />This phrase affirms the authority and sovereignty of God in instituting these commands. "Declares" translates the Hebrew "ne'um," often used to convey a divine utterance or decree. The use of "the Lord GOD" (YHWH Elohim) emphasizes both the covenantal relationship and the supreme power of God. It serves as a reminder that these instructions are not mere human traditions but divine mandates, calling for obedience and reverence from those who serve Him.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/44-27.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">And on the day</span><br /><span class="heb">וּבְיוֹם֩</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḇə·yō·wm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun -
