Ezekiel often receives visions and messages directly from God, highlighting his role as a prophet and intermediary between God and the people of Israel.This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering The guilt offering and sin offering were essential components of the sacrificial system in ancient Israel, as outlined in Leviticus. These offerings were made to atone for specific sins and unintentional transgressions. The mention of priests boiling these offerings underscores their role as mediators between God and the people, ensuring that the sacrificial rituals were conducted according to divine law. The specific location for boiling these offerings within the temple complex signifies the importance of maintaining ritual purity and order.and where they shall bake the grain offering The grain offering, also known as the meal offering, was a voluntary act of worship and devotion, often accompanying other sacrifices. It symbolized the dedication of one's labor and sustenance to God. The baking of the grain offering in a designated area within the temple precincts reflects the structured and sacred nature of worship practices, ensuring that offerings were prepared in a manner befitting their holy purpose.so that they do not bring them into the outer court The outer court of the temple was accessible to the general populace, unlike the inner areas reserved for priests. By keeping the preparation of offerings within specific areas, the text emphasizes the separation between the sacred and the common. This separation was crucial in maintaining the sanctity of the temple and preventing the profanation of holy rituals by unintentional contact with the laity.and transmit holiness to the people Holiness, in the biblical sense, involves being set apart for God's purposes. The concern here is that the holiness associated with the offerings could be improperly transferred to the people, which could lead to unintended consequences or ritual impurity. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's holiness and the need for careful observance of His commands to maintain the sanctity of worship and community life.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, who received visions and messages from God concerning the future of Israel and the temple. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_priests.htm">The Priests</a> The Levitical priests responsible for performing sacrifices and maintaining the holiness of the temple. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a> The sacred place of worship for the Israelites, central to their religious life and practices. 4. <a href="/topical/g/guilt_offering_and_sin_offering.htm">Guilt Offering and Sin Offering</a> Sacrifices prescribed in the Law of Moses for atonement of sins and guilt, symbolizing repentance and reconciliation with God. 5. <a href="/topical/o/outer_court.htm">Outer Court</a> The area of the temple accessible to the people, distinct from the inner areas reserved for priests and sacred rituals.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/h/holiness_and_separation.htm">Holiness and Separation</a> The passage emphasizes the importance of maintaining holiness and separation in worship practices.

The reason given for not bearing the flesh of the sin and trespass offering into the outer court is, lest they should thereby "sanctify the people," and the same reason is given in <a href="/ezekiel/44-19.htm" title="And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.">Ezekiel 44:19</a> for not allowing the priests' garments to come into the outer court. Under the law all those offerings which it was the duty of the priests to consume are called "most holy," and whoever touched them or the sacred vessels of the sanctuary became "holy" in the sense of set apart to God (<a href="/leviticus/6-18.htm" title="All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it.

The object of the command is therefore to prevent that ceremonial sanctification of the people which would interfere with their ordinary life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/46.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 20. - The "place" was designed as a kitchen where the priests should boil the trespass and the sin offerings and bake the meat (or, meal) offering, i.e. cook the portions of the sacrifices they should eat in their official capacity (see <a href="/ezekiel/42-13.htm">Ezekiel 42:13</a>). The Law of Moses (<a href="/leviticus/8-31.htm">Leviticus 8:31</a>) required the flesh to be boiled (and probably also the flour to be baked) at the tabernacle door. The last clause, that they, i.e. the priests, bear them, i.e. the offerings, not out into the utter (or, outer) court, to sanctify the people, is by most interpreters understood in the sense of <a href="/ezekiel/44-19.htm">Ezekiel 44:19</a> (which see). To this, however, Kliefoth objects that the conception of deriving ceremonial sanctity from contact with such offerings is completely strange to the Old Testament (see <a href="/haggai/2-12.htm">Haggai 2:12</a>), and accordingly he connects the words. "to sanctify the people," with the "baking" and "boiling" of the preceding clause. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and said וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say to me, אֵלַ֔י (’ê·lay) Preposition | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to “This זֶ֣ה (zeh) Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that is the place הַמָּק֗וֹם (ham·mā·qō·wm) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4725.htm">Strong's 4725: </a> A standing, a spot, a condition where אֲשֶׁ֤ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that the priests הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים (hak·kō·hă·nîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3548.htm">Strong's 3548: </a> Priest shall boil יְבַשְּׁלוּ־ (yə·ḇaš·šə·lū-) Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1310.htm">Strong's 1310: </a> To boil up, cooking, to ripen the guilt offering הָאָשָׁ֖ם (hā·’ā·šām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_817.htm">Strong's 817: </a> Guilt, a fault, a sin-offering and the sin offering, הַחַטָּ֑את (ha·ḥaṭ·ṭāṯ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2403.htm">Strong's 2403: </a> An offence, its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, expiation, an offender and where אֲשֶׁ֤ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that they shall bake יֹאפוּ֙ (yō·p̄ū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_644.htm">Strong's 644: </a> To cook, to bake the grain offering, הַמִּנְחָ֔ה (ham·min·ḥāh) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4503.htm">Strong's 4503: </a> A donation, tribute, a sacrificial offering so that they do not לְבִלְתִּ֥י (lə·ḇil·tî) Preposition-l <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1115.htm">Strong's 1115: </a> A failure of, not, except, without, unless, besides, because not, until bring הוֹצִ֛יא (hō·w·ṣî) Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim them into אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the outer הַחִֽיצוֹנָ֖ה (ha·ḥî·ṣō·w·nāh) Article | Adjective - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2435.htm">Strong's 2435: </a> The, wall side, exterior, secular court הֶחָצֵ֥ר (he·ḥā·ṣêr) Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2691.htm">Strong's 2691: </a> A yard, a hamlet and transmit holiness לְקַדֵּ֥שׁ (lə·qad·dêš) Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6942.htm">Strong's 6942: </a> To be set apart or consecrated to the people.” הָעָֽם׃ (hā·‘ām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/46-20.htm">Ezekiel 46:20 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/46-20.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 46:20 He said to me This (Ezek.
