Yechezkel 48:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:12

And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto
them a thing most holy
Be peculiarly theirs, and not converted to any other use; but be accounted most sacred, and not alienable, or made use of by other persons, or to other purposes by the border of the Levites; it should be continued, and reach unto their border; or where that should begin, and their part assigned them, which is next considered.

Yechezkel 48:12 In-Context

10 And for them, even for the kohanim, shall be this terumat hakodesh; toward the north five and twenty elef, and toward the west ten elef in width, and toward the east ten elef in width, and toward the south five and twenty elef in length; and the Mikdash Hashem shall be within thereof.
11 It shall be for the kohanim hamekudash (set apart as kodesh) of the Bnei Tzadok; which have been shomer over My mishmeret, which went not astray when the Bnei Yisroel went astray, as the Levi’im went astray.
12 And this terumiyyah (separated portion) for the kohanim, out of the terumat ha’aretz, kodesh kodashim, next to the border of the Levi’im.
13 And over against the border of the kohanim, the Levi’im shall have five and twenty elef in length, and ten elef in width; all the length shall be five and twenty elef, and the width ten elef.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor transfer the reshit ha’aretz (prime land); for it is kodesh unto Hashem.
