Ezekiel 48:33

33 And at the south coast thou shalt mete five hundred and four thousand reeds (five hundred and four thousand rods), and three gates shall be of those; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun. (And on the south side thou shalt measure four thousand five hundred cubits, and three gates shall be there; one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, one gate for Zebulun.)

Ezekiel 48:33 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures,
&c.] The south side of the city measured just the same as the north and east sides did: and three gates;
were on that side, as on the others: one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun;
at which these tribes entered, or those they represent.
