SCRIPTURE

"All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince in Israel." — Ezekiel 45:16 (ASV)

All the people of the land shall give this oblation
None shall be exempted from it; all according to their capacity and ability shall contribute to the support of the ministry, and the service of religion: for the prince in Israel ;
not the high priest, nor the civil magistrate, but the Prince Messiah: or rather "to the prince in Israel" F4 ; what the people shall do in this way, they shall do it as to the Lord, freely and cordially, and for his honour and glory; and he will take it as done to himself; see (Matthew 10:41Matthew 10:42) .
