Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

whose: Ezekiel 8:5

the keepers: Leviticus 8:35, Numbers 3:27, Numbers 3:28, Numbers 3:32, Numbers 3:38, Numbers 18:5, 1 Chronicles 6:49, 1 Chronicles 9:23, 2 Chronicles 13:11, Psalms 134:1, Malachi 2:4-7, 1 Timothy 6:20, Revelation 1:6

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto me,.... The illustrious Person that appeared in a human form, measuring the several parts of the temple, said to the prophet, as follows:

this chamber, whose prospect is toward the south; the row of chambers that were on the side of the north gate, facing the south:

is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house; that observe the keeping of it; observe all the laws and ordinances of God's house, and are careful that the worship of God may be maintained and preserved, to his glory, and their mutual edification: and which is, or should be, the concern, not of ministers only, but of all true believers, who are priests unto God; that present their bodies and souls before him, as a holy, living, and acceptable sacrifice, which is their reasonable service; and offer up the spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise to him, through Christ, Revelation 1:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The priests, whose chambers (L) are here provided, were those whose business it was to exercise this oversight which had devolved upon them as descendants of Aaron Numbers 3:32.
