Yechezkel 48:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:13

And over against the border of the priests
Next to their border, close to it, running parallel with it: the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten
thousand in breadth;
for accommodations for them; for chambers to lodge in, and other uses; all concerned in the house and worship of God shall be provided for with everything necessary and convenient for them; (See Gill on Ezekiel 45:5): all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten
thousand;
all the length of the land, both for the priests and Levites, should be five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth of the land for both ten thousand reeds: this is repeated for the certainty of it, and to prevent any mistake about it.

Yechezkel 48:13 In-Context

11 It shall be for the kohanim hamekudash (set apart as kodesh) of the Bnei Tzadok; which have been shomer over My mishmeret, which went not astray when the Bnei Yisroel went astray, as the Levi’im went astray.
12 And this terumiyyah (separated portion) for the kohanim, out of the terumat ha’aretz, kodesh kodashim, next to the border of the Levi’im.
13 And over against the border of the kohanim, the Levi’im shall have five and twenty elef in length, and ten elef in width; all the length shall be five and twenty elef, and the width ten elef.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor transfer the reshit ha’aretz (prime land); for it is kodesh unto Hashem.
15 And the five alafim, that are left in the width over against the five and twenty elef, shall be chol (secular, unconsecrated) for the Ir, for dwelling, and for migrash (open lands); and the Ir shall be within thereof.
