Ezekiel 48:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:13

And over against the border of the priests
Next to their border, close to it, running parallel with it: the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten
thousand in breadth;
for accommodations for them; for chambers to lodge in, and other uses; all concerned in the house and worship of God shall be provided for with everything necessary and convenient for them; (See Gill on Ezekiel 45:5): all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten
thousand;
all the length of the land, both for the priests and Levites, should be five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth of the land for both ten thousand reeds: this is repeated for the certainty of it, and to prevent any mistake about it.

Ezekiel 48:13 In-Context

11 The priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge, which did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 They shall receive by lot, separated in the dividing of the land, the most holy part, next to the border of the Levites.

13 And the portion of the Levites, shall be in front the border of the priests, of twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and of ten thousand in breadth; all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 They shall not sell of it, neither exchange nor transpose the firstfruits of the land; for it is consecrated unto the LORD.

15 And the five thousand reeds, that are left in the breadth over against the twenty-five thousand, shall be profane, for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
