Cross-References
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and kill an animal and make [a meal] ready; for the men will dine with me at noon."
So they prepared the present [of tribute] for Joseph before his arrival at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.
They said to him, "Why does my lord speak these things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
And the steward said, "Now let it be as you say; he with whom the cup is found will be my slave, but the rest of you shall be blameless."
Then every man quickly lowered his sack to the ground and each man opened his sack [confident the cup would not be found among them].
Then his brothers went and fell down before him [in confession]; then they said, "Behold, we are your servants (slaves)."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house,.... To be watchmen or porters in it; to open and shut the doors of it; to sweep and keep it clean; to repair and mend it, and to do such like works, as it follows:
for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein; in a servile way; but not as priests or ministers of the word.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Admonition to the ministering priests, grounded upon former neglect.
Ezekiel 44:4
The north gate before the house - The north gate of the inner court. God expostulates with His people in the seat of their former idolatries Ezekiel 8:3.
Ezekiel 44:5
Mark well - The careful arrangements made had all been intended to keep the temple and its surroundings from profanation. Hence, attention to these particulars is enjoined.
Ezekiel 44:7
Strangers - This refers especially to the sin of unauthorized and unfaithful priests ministering in the services of the temple. Compare marginal references.
Ezekiel 44:8
Mine holy things - The altar, its sacrifices, the sacred utensils, and the like.
For yourselves - According to your own pleasure, not My ordinances Numbers 16:40.
Ezekiel 44:10
The Levites as a body had remained true to the temple-service at Jerusalem 2 Chronicles 11:13; but individuals among them deserted to Israel probably from the first (see the marginal references), as in later years some went over to the worship of the Samaritans on Mount Gerizim. These apostate Levites âshall bear their iniquities,â they shall not be restored to their former rank and privileges.
Ezekiel 44:11
Ministers - As, according to the new system, the Levites, as a body, were to receive their portion in the âoblationâ Ezekiel 45:5; the only manner in which the Levites of Ezekiel 44:10 could live at all, was as part of the whole body, to which they were therefore reunited, but in the lowest grade. It is remarkable that the number of Levites who returned after the captivity was very small, not exceeding 400, of whom only 74 were priestsâ assistants (Ezra 2:40-42; compare Ezra 8:15-19). The gap in their number was filled up by 220 Nethinim (âgivenâ ones), probably originally strangers and captives, who, although employed in the temple services, were held by the Jews in the lowest repute.
Ezekiel 44:12
Lifted up mine hand - i. e., âThe Lord swareâ Ezekiel 20:5, that they should bear their iniquities.
