Ezekiel 48:20 — Meaning and Application

And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy {portion shall be} ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy {portion}; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.

And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

All the oblation {shall be} five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.

And the residue {shall be} for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house {shall be} in the midst thereof.

Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, {being} in the midst {of that} which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
