Ezekiel 48:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:14

And they shall not sell of it
Any part of it that is allotted to them, neither the priests nor the Levites; simony is not to be practised: neither exchange;
for any other land in lieu of it: nor alienate the first fruits of the land;
or appropriate them to any other use than that of the priests and Levites: whatever is appointed for ecclesiastic uses ought not to be converted to any other; nor should church privileges be parted with on any account: ministers and other officers, nay, even private Christians, should not part with their Christian liberty, nor with any of the doctrines and ordinances of the Gospel: for it is holy unto the Lord;
what is separated and devoted to religious uses is sacred to the Lord.

Ezekiel 48:14 In-Context

12 Even for them will be the offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, on the limit of the land given to the Levites.

13 And the Levites are to have a part of the land equal to the limit of the priests', twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide, all of it together to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide.

14 And they are not to let any of it go for a price, or give it in exchange; and the part of the land given to the Lord is not to go into other hands: for it is holy to the Lord.

15 And the other five thousand, measured from side to side, in front of the twenty-five thousand, is to be for common use, for the town, for living in and for a free space: and the town will be in the middle of it.

16 And these will be its measures: the north side, four thousand five hundred, and the south side, four thousand five hundred, and on the east side, four thousand five hundred, and on the west side, four thousand five hundred.
