Ezekiel 34:24

34:24 I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken!

Ezekiel 43:24

43:24 You will present them before the Lord, and the priests will scatter salt on them and offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.


sn The messianic king (“David”) is called both “king” and “prince” in 37:24-25. The use of the term “prince” for this king facilitates the contrast between this ideal ruler and the Davidic “princes” denounced in earlier prophecies (see 7:27; 12:10, 12; 19:1; 21:25; 22:6, 25).

sn It is likely that salt was used with sacrificial meals (Num 18:19; 2 Chr 13:5).
