2. 君王要經過朝東的外門(僅在安息日開啟,以標明其獨特的聖潔)到內院門的入口;他不可再往前走,只要「站在門框旁」(比較
1Ki 8:14, 22,
所羅門在會眾面前站在耶和華的壇前;又
2Ki 11:14; 23:3,
「在柱子旁」:這是慣常的位置),因為內院是祭司專屬的。在那裡,作為百姓的代表,與神有特別親近的關係,他要向耶和華獻上祭物;而在較遠處,百姓要在同一入口的外門敬拜。安息日的祭物比摩西律法所定的更大,暗示對神的敬拜當由君王和百姓以比從前更慷慨的自我犧牲精神來進行。
英文原文
2. The prince is to go through the east gate without (open on the Sabbath only, to mark its peculiar sanctity) to the entrance of the gate of the inner court; he is to go no further, but "stand by the post" (compare
1Ki 8:14, 22,
Solomon standing before the altar of the Lord in the presence of the congregation; also
2Ki 11:14; 23:3,
"by a pillar": the customary place), the court within belonging exclusively to the priests. There, as representative of the people, in a peculiarly near relation to God, he is to present his offerings to Jehovah, while at a greater distance, the people are to stand worshipping at the outer gate of the same entrance. The offerings on Sabbaths are larger than those of the Mosaic law, to imply that the worship of God is to be conducted by the prince and people in a more munificent spirit of self-sacrificing liberality than formerly.

9. 敬拜者在重大節期要從一邊穿過殿的院宇到另一邊,為的是在如此眾多的節期人潮中,出入更為通暢,出去的人不會妨礙進來的人。
英文原文
9. The worshippers were on the great feasts to pass from one side to the other, through the temple courts, in order that, in such a throng as should attend the festivals, the ingress and egress should be the more unimpeded, those going out not being in the way of those coming in.

10. 王在其中——不像別的時候那樣獨處,而是如大衛的榜樣,加入敬拜者的大群眾,站在他們前頭
(詩四十二4,
「我從前與大眾同往,用歡呼稱讚的聲音,領他們到神的殿裡,大家守節」);最高位的以自己的在場和榜樣激勵其餘人的敬虔。
英文原文
10. prince in the midst--not isolated as at other times, but joining the great throng of worshippers, at their head, after the example of David
(Ps 42:4,
"I had gone with the multitude . . . to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day"); the highest in rank animating the devotions of the rest by his presence and example.

12-15. 他不僅要在聖日和節期履行官方的敬拜,還要在每日「自願」的獻祭中彰顯他個人的熱忱,在慷慨上超過他一切的百姓,以此為他們樹立君王的榜樣。
英文原文
12-15. Not only is he to perform official acts of worship on holy days and feasts, but in "voluntary" offerings daily he is to show his individual zeal, surpassing all his people in liberality, and so setting them a princely example.

16-18. 君王的產業是不可轉讓的,任何賜給僕人的部分都要在禧年歸還給他的兒子們,使他沒有誘惑像從前那樣掠奪百姓的產業(參較亞哈與拿伯,
王上 21:1-29)。
提到禧年暗示著除了屬靈含義之外,還有字面上的意義。禧年在被擄歸回後得以恢復〔JOSEPHUS,《猶太古史》14.10, 6;《馬加比一書》6:49〕。也許在彌賽亞降臨作王時將再度恢復。參較
賽 61:2, 3,
在那裡「耶和華的恩年」與安慰錫安哀悼者以及向錫安的仇敵施行「報仇之日」緊密相連。提到君王的眾子,也是反對將「君王」理解為彌賽亞的另一個論據。
英文原文
16-18. The prince's possession is to be inalienable, and any portion given to a servant is to revert to his sons at the year of jubilee, that he may have no temptation to spoil his people of their inheritance, as formerly (compare Ahab and Naboth,
1Ki 21:1-29).
The mention of the year of jubilee implies that there is something literal meant, besides the spiritual sense. The jubilee year was restored after the captivity [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 14.10,6; 1 Maccabees 6:49]. Perhaps it will be restored under Messiah's coming reign. Compare
Isa 61:2, 3,
where "the acceptable year of the Lord" is closely connected with the comforting of the mourners in Zion, and "the day of vengeance" on Zion's foes. The mention of the prince's sons is another argument against Messiah being meant by "the prince."

19-24. 當適當顧及供職祭司食物的聖潔,在他們的房間附近設有烹煮的院子。一組烹煮的房間位於內院的四角,專為煮贖罪祭的肉而設,只能由以此為當得之分的祭司食用
(利 6:25; 7:7),
在出來再次與百姓混合之前;另一組位於外院的四角,用以煮平安祭的肉,百姓可與祭司一同享用。這一切暗示著,凡俗與不潔之物不再與神聖屬神之物混雜,乃是在最小的事上,如飲食,都要以神的榮耀為目標
(林前 10:31)。
英文原文
19-24. Due regard is to be had for the sanctity of the officiating priests' food, by cooking courts being provided close to their chambers. One set of apartments for cooking was to be at the corners of the inner court, reserved for the flesh of the sin offerings, to be eaten only by the priests whose perquisite it was
(Le 6:25; 7:7),
before coming forth to mingle again with the people; another set at the corners of the outer court, for cooking the flesh of the peace offerings, of which the people partook along with the priests. All this implies that no longer are the common and unclean to be confounded with the sacred and divine, but that in even the least things, as eating and drinking, the glory of God is to be the aim
(1Co 10:31).

22. 院子 joined——FAIRBAIRN 譯為「有頂的」或「拱形的」。但這些烹煮的房間似乎沒有蓋頂,以便肉的煙與氣味更容易散去。它們「相連」或「附屬」於院子的牆壁,在院子的四角〔MENOCHIUS〕。
英文原文
22. courts joined--FAIRBAIRN translates, "roofed" or "vaulted." But these cooking apartments seem to have been uncovered, to let the smoke and smell of the meat the more easily pass away. They were "joined" or "attached" to the walls of the courts at the corners of the latter [MENOCHIUS].

23. 煮的房子——煮的鍋。
在行下——在排的底下,即牆的最低處,設有煮的地方。
英文原文
23. boiling places--boilers.
under the rows--At the foot of the rows, that is, in the lowest part of the walls, were the places for boiling made.
Eze 46:1-24.
為君王與百姓在敬拜中所定條例的延續。
