Ezekiel 48:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:11

It shall be for the priests that are sanctified
That are set apart by the Lord; called by him to this office, and sanctified with the gifts and graces of his Spirit; and so fitted and qualified for the work: of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge, which went not astray
when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray;
ministers faithful to the Lord in the worst of times; and who are and wil be taken notice of by him, both now and hereafter, ( Matthew 25:21 ) ( Revelation 3:10 ) , (See Gill on Ezekiel 44:15), (See Gill on Ezekiel 44:16).

Ezekiel 48:11 In-Context

9 The consecrated area reserved for God is to be seven miles long and a little less than three miles wide.

10 "This is how it will be parceled out. The priest will get the area measuring seven miles on the north and south boundaries, with a width of a little more than three miles at the east and west boundaries. The Sanctuary of God will be at the center.

11 This is for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites who stayed true in their service to me and didn't get off track as the Levites did when Israel wandered off the main road.

12 This is their special gift, a gift from the land itself, most holy ground, bordering the section of the Levites.

13 "The Levites get a section equal in size to that of the priests, roughly seven by three miles.
