Key Reflection
Ezekiel 45:18 outlines the responsibilities of the prince in the restored temple worship system envisioned by the prophet. According to this verse, the prince would be tasked with providing and preparing various types of offerings—burnt, meal, drink, sin, and peace offerings—at regular feasts, new moons, Sabbaths, and other appointed times for the benefit of the entire house of Israel. This role underscores the importance of royal participation in maintaining a proper worship environment, ensuring that atonement could be made on behalf of the people through these sacrificial acts.
