Ezequiel 47:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 47:14

And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another
That is, the twelve tribes shall equally inherit it; one tribe shall not have more, and another less, but each alike: this was not the case, at the division of the land, in the times of Moses and Joshua; for to such tribes as were very numerous a greater inheritance was given; and to those that were fewer in number a lesser inheritance, ( Numbers 26:54 ) ( 33:54 ) , and upon the return from the Babylonish captivity, as the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were the largest, and indeed the only tribes that returned as such, they had the share of the land; but as this respects the dispensation, it signifies, that those who are true Israelites indeed shall share in the same Gospel church state, the privileges and immunities of it alike, with all the blessings of grace and eternal glory; they being all one in Christ Jesus, ( Galatians 3:28 ) : concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers;
that is, swore that he would give unto them the land of Canaan; typical of the Gospel church state and the heavenly glory; which are as sure to all the seed, by the word and oath of God, as that was: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance;
by lot, by the appointment of God, and a goodly one it is, ( Psalms 16:6 ) ( 47:4 ) .

Ezequiel 47:14 In-Context

12 Junto al río, en su orilla, a uno y otro lado, crecerán toda clase de árboles que den fruto para comer. Sus hojas no se marchitarán, ni faltará su fruto. Cada mes darán fruto porque sus aguas fluyen del santuario; su fruto será para comer y sus hojas para sanar.

13 Así dice el Señor DIOS: Estos serán los límites según los cuales repartiréis la tierra por heredad entre las doce tribus de Israel; José tendrá dos partes.

14 La repartiréis por heredad a cada uno en igual proporción que a su hermano; porque juré darla a vuestros padres, esta tierra os tocará en heredad.

15 Y estos serán los límites de la tierra: Por el lado norte, desde el mar Grande, camino de Hetlón, hasta la entrada de Zedad;

16 Hamat, Berota, Sibraim, que está entre el límite de Damasco y el límite de Hamat; Hazar-haticón, que está en el límite de Haurán.
