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 <264415> 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 “<264415>Ezekiel 44:15”). The Targum is, “the holy sacrifices of the people;” (see <451201>Romans 12:1 <581316>Hebrews 13:16 <600205>1 Peter 2:5).
