  1. Making order<\/em>. Whoever was around during the period of the monarchy can understand Ezekiel\u2019s need to instill order. He sketches a map of distribution with straight lines. No cutting corners. Clear boundaries which protect the holy from being desecrated, and the people from exploitation. And which grant the Levites estates that will solve their economic hardship (that is after their jobs were curtailed in the previous chapters to only providing minimal peripheral services).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Some realistic details<\/em>.If you\u2019re interested in the historical details of daily life, and the commerce of antiquity, you can learn from verses 10-12 some interesting details about weights and measures, especially the measuring of solids and liquids and the inter-relationship between them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Rebranding.<\/em> The ruler in the prophecies of Ezekiel is called the <\/span>nasi<\/span><\/em>. The laws which Ezekiel has promulgated regarding him redefine his job. In today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s chapter most of the attention is focused on his responsibility for the Temple. There\u2019s a little space devoted to justice and fair commerce in verses 9-12. That\u2019s it. What about the legal system? That was given over the priests in the previous chapter. What about security, economics and international relations. Good question…<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. What\u2019s new at the Temple<\/em>. Ezekiel\u2019s Temple law code is different from the one in Leviticus. The system of tithes and donations is different. The purification rites of the Temple occur in the month of Nisan, and not Yom Kippur, and are of a different nature. The sacrifices made for the holiday of Sukkot are equal to those of Pesach and different from the number of sacrifices as mandated by the Torah. More innovations in tomorrow\u2019s chapter. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
