the entry: This entry was at the west side of the north gate of the inner court. Ezekiel 40:44-46, Ezekiel 42:9, Ezekiel 44:4, Ezekiel 44:5

a place: This place was at the west corners of the inner court, or court of the priests; where they prepared the most holy things, the trespass and sin offering, which none but the priests might eat; that they might not "bear them out into the utter court, to sanctify the people," that is, by touching them incapacitate them from discharging their ordinary occupations.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate,.... The north gate of the inner court, where the prophet was last, Ezekiel 44:4, through an entry, by the side of that, he was brought by the man his guide:

into the holy chambers of the priests; see Ezekiel 42:13:

and, behold, there was a place in the two sides westward; or, "on their sides westward" p; on the west side of the chambers; the Targum is at the west end of them: the use of this place follows,

p בירכתם "in lateribus ejus vel eorum, in extremo", Starckius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The careful provision here made to keep separate the offerings of priests and people was to prevent collision, just as the enactments Ezekiel 46:16-18 were intended to secure their respective rights to prince and people.

Ezekiel 46:19

At the side of the gate - The entrance to the inner court at the same side as the northern gate Ezekiel 42:9.

Ezekiel 46:20

See M Plan II.

Boil - It was unique to the Paschal lamb, that it was to be eaten roasted. The flesh of the other sacrifices was to be “sodden” or boiled (see Leviticus 6:28; 1 Samuel 2:13; 2 Chronicles 24:14 margin). The “meat-offering” (flour and honey) was baked Leviticus 2:4.

Ezekiel 46:21

See K. Plan II.

Ezekiel 46:22

courts joined - enclosed courts, and entered by doors in the walls, which shut them out from the great court. The marginal rendering, “made with chimnies,” is based upon another interpretation of the word.

These four corners - Or, “these four corner-courts were of one measure.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 46:19. He brought me thorough the entry — The prophet had entered by the north gate of the court of the priests, where he had seen, a little before, the glory of the Lord, and where he had received all those directions from Ezekiel 44:4-5, to this chapter. From that gate, (see plan Q.) Ezekiel 48:35, he entered the vestibule by a gate which was by the side of the apartments of the priests, which were along this aisle, (see S.) Ezekiel 48:35, to the right of the vestibule towards the west. At the extremity of a row of chambers, he remarked, at the west, the place where they boiled the flesh of the sin-offerings, (see T.) Ezekiel 48:35. They did not boil there the flesh of all sorts of victims, there were other kitchens appointed for that, (see PP:) Ezekiel 48:35, but that only which could not be eaten but in the outer court, and by the priests which were sanctified; such were the parts of the offerings for sins of commission and ignorance, and the offerings of flour with which they were accompanied.
