Ezekiel 45:5

5 viginti quinque autem milia longitudinis et decem milia latitudinis erunt Levitis qui ministrant domui ipsi possidebunt viginti gazofilacia

Ezekiel 45:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 45:5

And the five and twenty thousand, of length, and ten thousand
of breadth
This seems to be another portion of the land, distinct from the former, though of the same measure; see ( Ezekiel 48:13 ) : shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for
themselves;
separate from the priests, to whom they ministered, and were as numerous; or more numerous, than they; this is still designed to set forth the largeness of the church, and the great numbers of its members, who will all be accommodated and supplied with good things: for a possession for twenty chambers;
which some understand of twenty rows of chambers; by which may be meant particular congregated churches, as we have seen all along in this vision, erected for the better use and convenience of the saints in all places and parts of the world, where they are called.

Ezekiel 45:5 In-Context

3 et a mensura ista mensurabis longitudinem viginti quinque milium et latitudinem decem milium et in ipso erit templum sanctumque sanctorum

4 sanctificatum de terra erit sacerdotibus ministris sanctuarii qui accedunt ad ministerium Domini et erit eis locus in domos et in sanctuarium sanctitatis

5 viginti quinque autem milia longitudinis et decem milia latitudinis erunt Levitis qui ministrant domui ipsi possidebunt viginti gazofilacia

6 et possessionem civitatis dabitis quinque milia latitudinis et longitudinis viginti quinque milia secundum separationem sanctuarii omni domui Israhel

7 principi quoque hinc et inde in separationem sanctuarii et in possessionem civitatis contra faciem separationis sanctuarii et contra faciem possessionis urbis a latere maris usque ad mare et a latere orientis usque ad orientem longitudinem autem iuxta unamquamque partium a termino occidentali usque ad terminum orientalem
