The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 48:8-14

Religion the nucleus of human life. The spiritual training of men has been uppermost in God's mind. As a wise father trains his child, so God has been training us. From God earthly fathers have instinctively learnt their methods. With unparalleled patience God has been encouraging men to take the first step heavenward, then the next, and the next. The progress has been slow, often imperceptible; yet it has been continuous. Earth has been, and still will be, a great school-house, a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 48:11

Fidelity. It was highly creditable to these sons of Zadok that, when the children of Israel generally and the Levites in particular went astray, they resisted the influence of a very general example, and remained faithful to the worship and service of Jehovah. "Faithful among the faithless," they were recognized and remembered by God himself, and their fidelity was rewarded in the apportionment of the territory among, the people. It is a virtue which every Christian should aim at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 48:13-14

The Levites' portion is next described by its situation , as lying over against — לְעֻמַּת , "at or near," answerable to (Revised Version), parallel with (Keil)— the border of the priests ; by its dimensions , as twenty-five thousand reeds in length , from east to west, and ten thousand reeds in breadth, or from north to south, i.e. it should be as large as the priests' portion—in point of fact larger, since the space necessary for the sanctuary required to be deducted from... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 48:8

“Length” is throughout measured from west to east, as breadth is from north to south.The offering Ezekiel 48:9-22, or, “oblation,” here includes all the land given to priests, Levites, city, and prince; the different parts being distinguished. All these together are to extend from west to east in the same way as the portions of the other tribes, the imaginary Jordan being the eastern boundary of all. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 48:8

Ezekiel 48:8. By the border of Judah, &c., shall be the offering, &c. Next to the border of Judah, which runs in length from east to west, shall be the offering ye shall set apart for the service of God, Ezekiel 45:1. The word reeds, it must be observed, is not in the original text, either here or in that place, and, as we have there noticed, many learned men think it more probable, that the measure of cubits is intended in both passages: see the note there. And in the length as... read more
