The Targum is the ancient Jewish Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew Scriptures — an interpretive translation, not the Hebrew text itself. Onkelos (literal) and Pseudo-Jonathan (expansive) render the Torah, and Jonathan the Prophets. Coverage is partial: where no permissively-licensed English translation exists for a verse, only the Aramaic is shown. This is verse-level text, not a word-by-word alignment to the Hebrew.

Commentary

Notes on Ezekiel 45:19 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

Eze 45:19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put [it] upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.

Ver. 19. And put it upon the posts.] This and other ceremonies were not enjoined by the law of Moses. The Jews cannot tell what to say to it. They will not see that old things are past, and all things become new.

19. Ceremonial with the blood. The blood shall be put on the door-posts of the house (Eze_41:21), on the four corners of the great “settle” of the altar (Eze_43:20), and upon the door-posts of the gateway of the inner court—which gateway is not specified, probably that at which the victims were slaughtered. Gateway, however, might be used collectively.

John Gill's Exposition

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering,.... An emblem of the blood of Christ, who was made sin for his people, and an offering for their sin; and which blood cleanses from all sin:

and put it upon the posts of the house; of the house of God, the sanctuary or temple; upon everyone of the posts of it, which stood at the entrance into it. The Targum is

"upon the threshold of the house:''

and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar; or four horns of it; see Eze 43:14,

and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court; that is, of the temple: this is also a new rule or law about putting the blood of the sacrifice into these various places, of which nothing is said in the law of Moses; and shows that admission into the church of God, and the right participation of Christ, the altar, and the blessings of his grace, as well as entrance into heaven itself, are all through the blood of Christ.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations

The priest: had the 17th and 18th verses intended by prince the high priest, there would have been no need of changing the phrase, or of mentioning the priest, it would have been enough to have said, And he shall; but in those verses the bringing and preparing is not priestly, but ascribed to the prince, as it would be to any other who offers a sacrifice to the Lord by the hand of the priest.

Shall take; carry with him in some vessel or other, from the place where the bullock was slain.

Of the blood of the sin-offering: see Lev 1:5; Eze 43:20.

Upon the four corners of the settle: see Eze 43:20.

Upon the posts; the blood of the sin-offering was to be put upon the posts of the temple door, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court, or that next to the temple.

The Pulpit Commentary

The mode in which this act of purgation should be performed is next described. The blood of the sin offering should by the priest be put (not sprinkled) upon the posts of the house, i.e. upon the posts or pillars of the door connecting the holy place with the holy of holies, (Eze_41:21) and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar of burnt offring in the inner court, (Eze_43:14) and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court, not of the eastern gate only, as Hitzig suggests, but of all the three gates. (Eze_40:29, Eze_40:33, Eze_40:36) Compare Eze_43:20, and the procedure in sin offerings under the Law, which directed that in certain eases part of the blood should be put by the priest"s finger upon the horns of the altar, and the rest poured out beside the bottom of the altar (Exo_29:12; Lev_4:7) while in other cases it should be sprinkled before the veil of the sanctuary, (Lev_4:6, Lev_4:17) and on the great Day of Atonement seven times even on and before the mercy-seat, and on the altar of incense. (Lev_16:14, Lev_16:18, Lev_16:19)

Ezekiel, in the Prophets, opens this verse with 18 words (16 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʻăzârâh (“enclosure”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word ʻăzârâh carries the sense “enclosure.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. 2 Chronicles 4:9 shares the word «enclosure» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “doorpost” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  5. The verb «וְלָקַ֨ח» is Qal Sequential Perfect. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Geneva Bible (1599) read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
