Ezekiel 48:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:12

And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto
them a thing most holy
Be peculiarly theirs, and not converted to any other use; but be accounted most sacred, and not alienable, or made use of by other persons, or to other purposes by the border of the Levites; it should be continued, and reach unto their border; or where that should begin, and their part assigned them, which is next considered.
