Ezekiel 48:30 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:30

And these are the goings out of the city
The gates of it, as Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it, by which they went out of it, and into it; and also the sides of it. The Lord here returns to the city again, to give an account of its circumference and name: on the north side four thousand and five hundred measures;
the north side of the city measured so many measures; that is, reeds, as Jarchi explains it.
