  1. Come, or not\u2026<\/em> The Hebrew root \u05d1-\u05d5-\u05d0, b-v-aleph (\u201ccome) appears 12 times in this chapter – but it is mainly used to describe who isn\u2019t arriving or entering, and how not to do so…<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Other voices.<\/em> Ezekiel sounds a resolute call to exclude strangers from the Temple, especially foreigners. So now is the time to remember Isaiah\u2019s festive declaration from 106 chapters ago: \u201cAs for the foreigners\u2026 I will bring them to My sacred mount And let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices Shall be welcome on My altar; For My House shall be called \u2018A house of prayer for all peoples\u2019\u201d (56:6-7). And perhaps also his invitation to actually work there, joining the sacrificial cult: \u201cAnd out of all the nations, said the LORD…from them likewise I will take some to be levitical priests, said the LORD\u201d (66:20-21).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Torah echoes<\/em>. There are in this chapter instructions that echo laws from Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. But there are also many differences. Worth following up.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. It\u2019s worth it<\/em>! If the tithes to the priests left you a little out of pocket, just remember that the contribution is so \u201cthat a blessing may rest upon your home\u201d (verse 30).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
