Ezekiel 45:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 45:5

And the five and twenty thousand, of length, and ten thousand
of breadth
This seems to be another portion of the land, distinct from the former, though of the same measure; see ( Ezekiel 48:13 ) : shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for
themselves;
separate from the priests, to whom they ministered, and were as numerous; or more numerous, than they; this is still designed to set forth the largeness of the church, and the great numbers of its members, who will all be accommodated and supplied with good things: for a possession for twenty chambers;
which some understand of twenty rows of chambers; by which may be meant particular congregated churches, as we have seen all along in this vision, erected for the better use and convenience of the saints in all places and parts of the world, where they are called.

3 In the holy area you will measure a part about seven miles long and three miles wide, and in it will be the Most Holy Place.
4 This holy part of the land will be for the priests who serve in the Temple, who come near to the Lord to serve him. It will be a place for the priests' houses and for the Temple.
5 Another area about seven miles long and more than three miles wide will be for the Levites, who serve in the Temple area. It will belong to them so they will have cities in which to live.
6 "'You must give the city an area that is about one and one-half miles wide and about seven miles long, along the side of the holy area. It will belong to all the people of Israel.
7 "'The ruler will have land on both sides of the holy area and the city. On the west of the holy area, his land will reach to the Mediterranean Sea. On the east of the holy area, his land will reach to the eastern border. It will be as long as the land given to each tribe.
