Ezekiel 48:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:4

And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Manasseh.
] Just in like manner, next to Naphtali lay the tribe of Manasseh, and the portion of land appointed for that tribe; even such Christians who "forget" the things that are behind, and reach to those that are before; forget their former companions, their own people, and father's house, their carnal lusts and pleasures, and their own works of righteousness, and follow after Christ and his righteousness.
