2. 關閉……不得開啟——
(Job 12:14; Isa 22:22; Re 3:7)。
對百姓「關閉」
(Ex 19:21, 22)，
卻對「君王」開啟
(Eze 44:3)，
因為他在政治事務上代替神，正如祭司在屬靈事務上代替神。作為對東方君主的尊敬，他所進入的門此後對其他一切人都關閉（比較
Ex 19:24)。
英文原文
2. shut . . . not be opened--
(Job 12:14; Isa 22:22; Re 3:7).
"Shut" to the people
(Ex 19:21, 22),
but open to "the prince"
(Eze 44:3),
he holding the place of God in political concerns, as the priests do in spiritual. As a mark of respect to an Eastern monarch, the gate by which he enters is thenceforth shut to all other persons (compare
Ex 19:24).

3. 君王——不是彌賽亞君王，因為祂絕不會像君王所要作的那樣為自己獻燔祭
(Eze 46:4)。
這君王必指彌賽亞之下的民政統治者。他與東門（主曾從此門回到祂的聖殿）的關聯，暗示他既在神之下治理，就要站在特別親近神的位置上。他預表彌賽亞——彌賽亞以別人都不能走的方式進了天堂那真正的聖所，即以祂自己的聖潔；其他人必須作罪人，靠著恩典、因信祂的血而進入。
在耶和華面前吃餅——與獻祭有關的習俗
(Ge 31:54; Ex 18:12; 24:11; 1Co 10:18)。
英文原文
3. the prince--not King Messiah, as He never would offer a burnt offering for Himself, as the prince is to do
(Eze 46:4).
The prince must mean the civil ruler under Messiah. His connection with the east gate (by which the Lord had returned to His temple) implies, that, as ruling under God, he is to stand in a place of peculiar nearness to God. He represents Messiah, who entered heaven, the true sanctuary, by a way that none other could, namely, by His own holiness; all others must enter as sinners by faith in His blood, through grace.
eat bread before the Lord--a custom connected with sacrifices
(Ge 31:54; Ex 18:12; 24:11; 1Co 10:18).

4-6. 關於祭司的指示。他們褻瀆的行為被歸於「以色列家」
(Eze 44:6, 7)，
因為祭司的罪與百姓的罪彼此相互作用與反作用；「百姓怎樣，祭司也怎樣」
(Jer 5:31; Ho 4:9)。
英文原文
4-6. Directions as to the priests. Their acts of desecration are attributed to "the house of Israel"
(Eze 44:6, 7),
as the sins of the priesthood and of the people acted and reacted on one another; "like people, like priest"
(Jer 5:31; Ho 4:9).

7. 心未受割禮——以色列人外面受了割禮，卻缺少心中真正的割禮
（申十16； 徒七51）。
身未受割禮——連立約之民外在的記號也沒有。
英文原文
7. uncircumcised in heart--Israelites circumcised outwardly, but wanting the true circumcision of the heart
(De 10:16; Ac 7:51).
uncircumcised in flesh--not having even the outward badge of the covenant-people.

8. 守衛……為你們自己——即你們自己看為合適的，不是我所認可的。或作「你們自己沒有親自看守我的聖物，卻在我的聖所裡設立別人替你們看守我所交託的」〔MAURER〕。
英文原文
8. keepers . . . for yourselves--such as you yourselves thought fit, not such as I approve of. Or else, "Ye have not yourselves kept the charge of My holy things, but have set others as keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for yourselves" [MAURER].

10-11. 利未人……必……擔當——即擔當
他們罪孽的刑罰……然而他們必作祭司——照樣，馬可——巴拿巴的外甥，是一個利未人
（徒四36），
因失去背負基督十字架的機會而受保羅責罰，後來卻又重新被接入保羅的友誼，並顯出他的熱心
（徒十三13，十五37； 西四10； 提後四11）。
一個人可以作信徒，且身居顯要之位，卻仍失去某些特別的尊榮——被認可是敬虔的，卻被排除於某些職分之外〔BENGEL〕。
在門前供職——「寧可在我神殿中看門，不願住在惡人的帳棚裡」
（詩八十四10）。
雖然只是站在那裡作一個看門人，卻是在神的殿中，那殿有根基：而與惡人同住的人，不過住在飄搖的帳棚中。
英文原文
10, 11. Levites . . . shall . . . bear--namely, the punishment of
their iniquity . . . Yet they shall be ministers--So Mark, a Levite, nephew of Barnabas
(Ac 4:36),
was punished by Paul for losing an opportunity of bearing the cross of Christ, and yet was afterwards admitted into his friendship again, and showed his zeal
(Ac 13:13; 15:37; Col 4:10; 2Ti 4:11).
One may be a believer, and that too in a distinguished place, and yet lose some special honor--be acknowledged as pious, yet be excluded from some dignity [BENGEL].
charge at the gates--Better to be "a doorkeeper in the house of God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness"
(Ps 84:10).
Though standing as a mere doorkeeper, it is in the house of God, which hath foundations: whereas he who dwells with the wicked, dwells in but shifting tents.

15. 撒督——以他瑪家的祭司因他們的腐敗要被免去在殿中的事奉，他們追隨了以利兒子的腳步，而同樣的宣告也曾對以利兒子發出
（撒上二32、35）。
撒督——照其名（意為「公義」）及其後裔——要接續
（王上二35； 代上二十四3），
因他們沒有同樣程度地參與普遍的叛教，而且或許〔FAIRBAIRN〕先知論到他們最初的狀態，是照他們初次被選任此職時的樣子說的。
英文原文
15. Zadok--The priests of the line of Ithamar were to be discharged from ministrations in the temple, because of their corruptions, following in the steps of Eli's sons, against whom the same denunciation was uttered
(1Sa 2:32, 35).
Zadok, according to his name (which means "righteous") and his line, were to succeed
(1Ki 2:35; 1Ch 24:3),
as they did not take part in the general apostasy to the same degree, and perhaps [FAIRBAIRN] the prophet, referring to their original state, speaks of them as they appeared when first chosen to the office.

17. 細麻布——象徵純潔。羊毛在炎熱的東方極易使人出汗，因而成為不潔。
英文原文
17. linen--symbolical of purity. Wool soon induces perspiration in the sultry East and so becomes uncleanly.

18. 裹頭巾——即頭巾。
英文原文
18. bonnets--turbans.

19. 不可用他們的衣服使百姓成聖——即那些他們在聖所中供職時所穿的特別祭司服裝。
英文原文
19. not sanctify the people with their garments--namely, those peculiarly priestly vestments in which they ministered in the sanctuary.

20. 不可……剃……頭——如哀悼者所行
（利 21:1-5）。
敬拜埃及偶像西拉皮斯（Serapis）與伊西斯（Isis）的人剃光頭；這是耶和華的祭司不可如此行的另一原因。
也不可讓……頭髮長長——如同奢華之人、野蠻人以及作戰的兵丁所行〔JEROME〕。
英文原文
20. Neither . . . shave . . . heads--as mourners do
(Le 21:1-5).
The worshippers of the Egyptian idols Serapis and Isis shaved their heads; another reason why Jehovah's priests are not to do so.
nor suffer . . . locks to grow long--as the luxurious, barbarians, and soldiers in warfare did [JEROME].

21. 也不可喝酒——免得他們敬虔的熱忱被誤認為醉酒，正如彼得的情形
（徒 2:13, 15, 18）。
英文原文
21. Neither . . . wine--lest the holy enthusiasm of their devotion should be mistaken for inebriation, as in Peter's case
(Ac 2:13, 15, 18).

(Pr 3:9, 10; Mal 3:10).

為君王與祭司所定的條例。
