1 | Ezekiel 43/44 Questions | Ezekiel | John C. | 238853 | ||
I am not sure why the curiosity to know is so strong. Maybe just a strong interest in History. But you are right about needing a starting point for DNA verification. The way it was explained to me is that a large number of "Kohens" were picked for testing who have followed their ancestors closely. In other words they had every reason to believe they belonged in the lineage. In the DNA sequencing, there was some marker found common to almost all of them not found in other Jewish men. I wish I had some expertise in this area. That is why I am asking the questions. Just hoping the right person reads this and sets me on the right path. Thanks for taking the time to answer. I will check Google maps too. Did not know they would carry ancient types. |

2 | Ezekiel 43/44 Questions | Ezekiel | John C. | 238851 | ||
Thank you EdB, Have you any references to these residences being located in proximity to the Temple itself? Eze 43:7-12 indicates there was only a wall between the palace and Temple. Perhaps Solomon' s was, but I believe David's palace was in the City of David, several hundred yards away from the future Temple, which David never saw. But possibly Solomon first lived there before his palace was built. Any reference in 1 or 2 Kings? I will have to read thru. Just thought someone might already know. I did not know Herod's palace was so close. You may not have read the beginning of my question thread from yesterday. There was another part. Ezekiel 44:10-15 talks about the Levitical priests, sons of Zadok. Is this a sub group of Levites and if so, are they identifiable today? These verses seem to indicate a more important role for the Zadokites than the main body of priests if indeed they are all Kohens. |

I have been told that the priestly line has been verified in our day thru DNA testing. Was there ever a Kingly or other type of residence during the first or second temple periods situated in close proximity to the temple? |

Ezekiel final chapters. Presuming they are not allegorical. 1) 43:7-12 The Lord is chiding Israel. " ...the place of my throne... The house of Israel will not again defile My holy name... By setting their threshold and their door post beside My doorpost... This is the law of house: it's entire area on the top of the mountain all around shall be most holy". I at first believed this is referring to some occasion during the first temple period when there would have been a King's palace in close proximity to the Temple. But I have been told there never was. Even after the time of Ezekiel during the second temple period, the only object ever constructed close by was a Roman fortress. Is this true? 2) 44:5 Talking about the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok. It seems they are being singled out for past exemplary actions and being given higher responsibilities than the remainder of the Levitical priests (Kohens) who had 44:10 "went far from Me when Israel went astray". Am I reading this correctly, that there is a sub group of Levites called Zadokites. Are they distinguishable today from the main group? |
