Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 47:21-23

The Israelites were to divide the land in this way for the tribes of Israel by lot (cf. Ezekiel 45:1). It was not to be for Israelites alone, however. Aliens who permanently lived among them could dwell in this region too. Under the Mosaic economy, resident aliens were non-Israelites who had adopted the religion and laws of the Hebrews; they had become converts to Yahweh worship. The Israelites were to regard these alien peoples as equals with themselves concerning their rights within the land.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 47:1-23

§ 2. The Ordinances of the New Israel (Ezekiel 40-48)This concluding section of the book is dated in the twenty-fifth year of Ezekiel's captivity, i.e. the fourteenth year after the fall of Jerusalem (572 b.c.). It is therefore thirteen years later than the previous section (Ezekiel 33-39), and, with the exception of Ezekiel 29:17-21, forms the latest part of the book. It is in the form of a vision, which is the counterpart of that in Ezekiel 8-11. There God forsook the old Temple which had... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 47:13-23

The Boundaries of the LandThis passage may be compared with Numbers 34:1-12. The N. border started from a point on the Mediterranean, and ran eastward by Hamath and other places to Hazar-enon, between Damascus and the Hauran. The E. border ran southward from here, between Gilead and the land of Israel, and followed the Jordan, ending at Tamar, S. of the Dead Sea. From Tamar the S. border ran by Meriboth-kadesh to the brook of Egypt at the SE. corner of the Mediterranean. The W. border is formed... read more

Ezekiel 47:5 I tell you, sirs, you must not trust your own apprehensions nor judgments of the mercy of God; you do not know how He can cause it to abound: that which seems to be short and shrunk up to you, He can draw out and cause to abound exceedingly.... This therefore is a wonderful thing, and shall be wondered at to all eternity, that the river of mercy, that at first did seem to be but ancle-deep, should so rise and rise that at last it became 'waters to swim in, a river that could not be... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 47:1-23

RENEWAL AND ALLOTMENT OF THE LANDEzekiel 47:1-23; Ezekiel 48:1-35IN the first part of the forty-seventh chapter the visionary form of the revelation, which had been interrupted by the important series of communications on which we have been so long engaged, is again resumed. The prophet, once more under the direction of his angelic guide, sees a stream of water issuing from the Temple buildings and flowing eastward into the Dead Sea. Afterwards he receives another series of directions relating... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 47:1-23

THE CLOSE OF THE BOOK THE GATE OF THE PRINCE (Ezekiel 44:1-3 ) As the glory of Jehovah had entered this gate (Ezekiel 48:4-5 ), it must hereafter be closed for all but His representative the prince. This cannot mean the Messiah, because the prince requires a sin-offering. (Remember that sin will be suppressed in that day, but not yet extirpated.) Doubtless this prince is a future prince of the house of David. THE FUTURE PRIESTS AND LEVITES (Ezekiel 44:9-31 ) Ezekiel 44:9-14 show that... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 47:1-23

Curious Things In Life Ezekiel 47:0 This chapter is a chapter of measurement. Everything is meted out, as it were, by so many cubits and inches. So we read, "he measured," "again he measured," and "again he measured," and in the fifth verse, "afterward he measured." It was a man who represented God. Thus the Lord shows us how everything is measured out. There is so much, and there is no more. You may measure it over and over again, sometimes with suspicion and unbelief, but it all comes to the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 47:13-23

Here seems to open a new subject, in dividing the several portions of the Holy Land to the tribes of Israel. And I would ask, is there not a most gracious and merciful provision made also for the Gentile stranger, whom the after Dispensation of Grace brings in, to make one fold with Israel under one shepherd, Jesus Christ the righteous? John 10:16 . read more

The Boundaries of the New Canaan v. 13. Thus saith the Lord God, This shall be the border, the boundary of Canaan proper, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions, as in the first division of the land. Cf Genesis 48:5; 1 Chronicles 5:1. v. 14. And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, every one an equal portion, concerning the which I lifted up Mine hand, in a solemn oath accompanying his promise, Genesis 12:7; Genesis... read more
