Ezekiel 48:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:17

And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two
hundred and fifty
That is, so many reeds: and toward the south two hundred and fifty;
which make five hundred; and these being added to four thousand five hundred, north and south, make five thousand: and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two
hundred and fifty;
which being added to four thousand five hundred, east and west, make five thousand; and so an equilateral square on each side, length and breadth.

Ezekiel 48:17 In-Context

15 quinque milia autem quae supersunt in latitudine per viginti quinque milia profana erunt urbis in habitaculum et in suburbana et erit civitas in medio eius

16 et heae mensurae eius ad plagam septentrionalem quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam meridianam quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam orientalem quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam occidentalem quingenti et quattuor milia

17 erunt autem suburbana civitatis ad aquilonem ducenti quinquaginta et in meridie ducenti quinquaginta et ad orientem ducenti quinquaginta et ad mare ducenti quinquaginta

18 quod autem reliquum fuerit in longitudine secundum primitias sanctuarii decem milia in orientem et decem milia ad occidentem erunt sicut primitiae sanctuarii et erunt fruges eius in panes his qui serviunt civitati

19 servientes autem civitati operabuntur ex omnibus tribubus Israhel
