After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
¶ Me metió después por la entrada que estaba hacia la puerta, a las cámaras santas de los sacerdotes, las cuales miraban al norte, y había allí un lugar a los lados del occidente.
Verse 19. He brought me thorough the entry] The prophet had entered by the north gate of the court of the priests, where he had seen, a little before, the glory of the Lord, and where he had received all those directions from chap. xliv. 4, 5, to this chapter. From that gate, (see plan Q.) he entered the vestibule by a gate which was by the side of the apartments of the priests, which were along this aisle, (see S.) to the right of the vestibule towards the west. At the extremity of a row of chambers, he remarked, at the west, the place where they boiled the flesh of the sin-offerings, (see T.) They did not boil there the flesh of all sorts of victims, there were other kitchens appointed for that, (see PP:) but that only which could not be eaten but in the outer court, and by the priests which were sanctified; such were the parts of the offerings for sins of commission and ignorance, and the offerings of flour with which they were accompanied.
Matthew Henry Commentary The ordinances of worship for the prince and for the people, are her described, and the gifts the prince may bestow on his sons an servants. Our Lord has directed us to do many duties, but he has als left many things to our choice, that those who delight in his commandments may abound therein to his glory, without entangling their own consciences, or prescribing rules unfit for others; but we mus never omit our dailyworship, nor neglect to apply the sacrifice of the Lamb of God to our souls, for pardon, peace, and salvation __________________________________________________________________
