Ezekiel 48:12 — Meaning and Application

And for them, {even} for the priests, shall be {this} holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand {in length}, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.

{It shall be} for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. {It...: or, The sanctified portion shall be for the priests} {charge: or, ward, or, ordinance}

And {this} oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.

And over against the border of the priests the Levites {shall have} five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length {shall be} five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for {it is} holy unto the LORD.
