SCRIPTURE

"Then said he unto me, These are the boiling-houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people." — Ezekiel 46:24 (ASV)

Then said he unto me, these are the places of them that boil , &c.] The kitchens, in which those whose business it was to boil the sacrifices did it; and who they were are next declared:

where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people ; these seem to be the Levites, as distinct from the priests before mentioned; though in this prophecy they are both used of the same persons; see (Ezekiel 44:15) , the sacrifice of the people were the peace offerings, which the people might eat of, but were first to be boiled; typical of peace and reconciliation made by Christ, held forth in the ministry of the word, called from thence the word of reconciliation:

of the boiling of sacrifices, (See Gill on Ezekiel 44:15). The Targum is, the holy sacrifices of the people; see (Romans 12:1) (Hebrews 13:16) (1 Peter 2:5) .
