Ezekiel 48:23 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:23

As for the rest of the tribes
Not yet mentioned, which lay to the south of the sanctuary, and are as follow: from the east side to the west side,
Benjamin shall have a portion; the sons of God's right hand,
who are as near and dear to him as a man's right hand is to him. Judah and Benjamin are nearest to the holy oblation, sanctuary, city, and prince; the one to the north of them, the other to the south; these tribes being faithful to God, and with his saints, when others departed from him; the Lord takes great notice of his faithful ones, and honours them, ( Hosea 11:12 ) .
