Ezekiel 48:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:7

And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Judah.
] Such who "confess" the Lord before men, and "praise" his name for all blessings, temporal and spiritual, they receive from him: these seven tribes already mentioned, as they lay contiguous to each other, and had portions and inheritances alike assigned to them; so they were all of them to the north of the sanctuary and city after mentioned.
