Definition: But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

Explanation: Okay, let's break down this verse from Ezekiel 44:14. It’s a really interesting one with a few layers! Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, God is giving a special job to the Israelites (and later, to all people) to protect and care for His house – meaning His Tabernacle or presence. Let's unpack it a bit further: “But I will make them keepers of the charge…” - This means God is assigning this responsibility to a specific group. It’s not just anyone; it’s chosen individuals who are entrusted with something important. “…of the house” – The “house” in this context refers to God's presence, His Temple, and the Tabernacle/Temple that He built for his people. It’s a sacred place where he lives and interacts with them. “For all the service thereof…” - This is key! It means they are responsible for everything related to the Tabernacle – everything that happens within it. This includes praying, offering sacrifices, performing rituals, and just generally caring for the sacred space. “…and for all that shall be done therein.” - This reinforces the importance of their role. It means they are responsible for every single thing that takes place in the Tabernacle – every prayer, every sacrifice, every ritual, even everything that happens within the walls of the Temple. In essence, it's a promise that God has chosen these people to be guardians and caretakers of His dwelling place. Why is this important? It highlights God’s control and faithfulness. It shows that He wants to be involved in every aspect of His people’s lives and worship. Does that make sense? Do you want me to explain any part of it further, or perhaps relate it to a specific story or concept? For example, would you like me to: Explain the significance of the Tabernacle itself? Discuss the idea of faithfulness?
