Ezekiel 48:11

11 This land that has been set apart will belong to the priests who are descendants of Zadok. They took care of my holy place. They didn't wander away with the Israelites as the Levites did.

Ezekiel 48:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:11

It shall be for the priests that are sanctified
That are set apart by the Lord; called by him to this office, and sanctified with the gifts and graces of his Spirit; and so fitted and qualified for the work: of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge, which went not astray
when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray;
ministers faithful to the Lord in the worst of times; and who are and wil be taken notice of by him, both now and hereafter, ( Matthew 25:21 ) ( Revelation 3:10 ) , (See Gill on Ezekiel 44:15), (See Gill on Ezekiel 44:16).

Ezekiel 48:11 In-Context

9 This special land that you set aside for the LORD will be 43,750 feet long and 17,500 feet wide.
10 This holy area will belong to the priests. On the north side it will be 43,750 feet long. On the west side it will be 17,500 feet wide. On the east side it will be 17,500 feet wide. On the south side it will be 43,750 feet long. The LORD's holy place will be in the middle of it.
11 This land that has been set apart will belong to the priests who are descendants of Zadok. They took care of my holy place. They didn't wander away with the Israelites as the Levites did.
12 So they will have a special portion from the land. It will be the holiest part of land, next to the land belonging to the Levites.
13 Alongside the land belonging to the priests will be the land belonging to the Levites. It will be 43,750 feet long and 17,500 feet wide.
