Ezekiel 48:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:23

As for the rest of the tribes
Not yet mentioned, which lay to the south of the sanctuary, and are as follow: from the east side to the west side,
Benjamin shall have a portion; the sons of God's right hand,
who are as near and dear to him as a man's right hand is to him. Judah and Benjamin are nearest to the holy oblation, sanctuary, city, and prince; the one to the north of them, the other to the south; these tribes being faithful to God, and with his saints, when others departed from him; the Lord takes great notice of his faithful ones, and honours them, ( Hosea 11:12 ) .

Ezekiel 48:23 In-Context

21 "'What remains will be for the prince - the land on the two sides of the holy offering and section for the city, that is, the portion eastward from the eight [miles] of the offering's eastern border to the land's eastern border and the portion westward from the eight [miles] of the offering's western border to the land's western border - this land adjacent to the [tribal] portions will be for the prince, with the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house inside it.
22 Thus the land belonging to the L'vi'im and the section for the city will be inside that which belongs to the prince. "'The territory belonging to the prince will be between the territory of Y'hudah and the territory of Binyamin -
23 which brings us to the rest of the tribes: "'Binyamin's territory will run from east to west.
24 "'Shim'on's territory will run alongside the territory of Binyamin from east to west.
25 "'Yissakhar's territory will run alongside the territory of Shim'on from east to west.
