Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 7. The fat and the blood] These never went into common use; they were wholly offered to God. The blood was poured out; the fat consumed.
Because of all your abominations.] Several MSS. of Kennicott's and De Rossi's read their abominations, referring to the strangers mentioned before.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- After Ezekiel had surveyed the temple of God, he had a vision of the glory of God. When Christ crucified, and the things freely given to u of God, through Him, are shown to us by the Holy Ghost, they make u ashamed for our sins. This frame of mind prepares us for fulle discoveries of the mysteries of redeeming love; and the whole of the Scriptures should be opened and applied, that men may see their sins and repent of them. We are not now to offer any atoning sacrifices, for by one offering Christ has perfected for ever those that ar sanctified, Heb. 10:14; but the sprinkling of his blood is needful in all our approaches to God the Father. Our best services can be accepte only as sprinkled with the blood which cleanses from all sin _________________________________________________
