Ezekiel 48:14

14 et non venundabunt ex eo neque mutabunt nec transferentur primitiae terrae quia sanctificatae sunt Domino

Ezekiel 48:14 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 48:14

And they shall not sell of it
Any part of it that is allotted to them, neither the priests nor the Levites; simony is not to be practised: neither exchange;
for any other land in lieu of it: nor alienate the first fruits of the land;
or appropriate them to any other use than that of the priests and Levites: whatever is appointed for ecclesiastic uses ought not to be converted to any other; nor should church privileges be parted with on any account: ministers and other officers, nay, even private Christians, should not part with their Christian liberty, nor with any of the doctrines and ordinances of the Gospel: for it is holy unto the Lord;
what is separated and devoted to religious uses is sacred to the Lord.

Ezekiel 48:14 In-Context

13 sed et Levitis similiter iuxta fines sacerdotum viginti quinque milia longitudinis et latitudinis decem milia omnis longitudo viginti et quinque milium et latitudo decem milium

14 et non venundabunt ex eo neque mutabunt nec transferentur primitiae terrae quia sanctificatae sunt Domino

15 quinque milia autem quae supersunt in latitudine per viginti quinque milia profana erunt urbis in habitaculum et in suburbana et erit civitas in medio eius

16 et heae mensurae eius ad plagam septentrionalem quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam meridianam quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam orientalem quingenti et quattuor milia et ad plagam occidentalem quingenti et quattuor milia
