Ezekiel 48:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:23

As for the rest of the tribes
Not yet mentioned, which lay to the south of the sanctuary, and are as follow: from the east side to the west side,
Benjamin shall have a portion; the sons of God's right hand,
who are as near and dear to him as a man's right hand is to him. Judah and Benjamin are nearest to the holy oblation, sanctuary, city, and prince; the one to the north of them, the other to the south; these tribes being faithful to God, and with his saints, when others departed from him; the Lord takes great notice of his faithful ones, and honours them, ( Hosea 11:12 ) .

And the holy allotment and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it.
22 "Exclusive of the property of the Levites and the property of the city, which are in the middle of that which belongs to the prince, everything between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be for the prince.
