Ezekiel 4:14
_ _ Ezekiel, as a priest, had been accustomed to the strictest abstinence from everything legally impure. Peter felt the same scruple at a similar command (Acts 10:14; compare Isaiah 65:4). Positive precepts, being dependent on a particular command can be set aside at the will of the divine ruler; but moral precepts are everlasting in their obligation because God cannot be inconsistent with His unchanging moral nature.
_ _ abominable flesh — literally, “flesh that stank from putridity.” Flesh of animals three days killed was prohibited (Leviticus 7:17, Leviticus 7:18; Leviticus 19:6, Leviticus 19:7). |
