Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 48:1-35

CHAP. 481And these are the names of the tribes: from the north end by the way of [toward] Hethlon, as one cometh to Hamath, Hazar-Enon, the border of Damascus northward to the border of Hamath, and they are to him the east2 side, the sea: Dan one. And on the border of Dan, from the east side to 3 the westward side: Asher one. And on the border of Asher, from the eastward 4 side to the westward side: Naphtali one. And on the border of Naphtali, from the eastward side to the westward side:... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 48:1-35

The disposition of the tribes in relation to the sanctuary was then given. On the north of the sacred land Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, and Judah were to find their possessions, and in that order from north to south. In the sacred land itself, at the very center, stood the sanctuary, and the priests' possession was immediately round about it. On the north of the land of the sanctuary and the priests, was the possession of the Levites, while on its south were the city and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 48:1-35

Chapter Ezekiel 47:13 to Ezekiel 48:35 The Division of the Land and the Establishment of ‘The City’. Presenting Paradise to the people of Israel at their lowest ebb could only be by giving them a picture of the sharing of the land among ‘the twelve tribes’ and the establishment of God’s City under the Davidic prince. That was the expanded Mosaic dream, with every man living under his own vine and his own fig tree (1 Kings 4:25). But it would depend on their true response and obedience, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 48:22

“Moreover from what is possessed by the Levites and from what is possessed by the city, being in the midst of what is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.” We see here a slight ambivalence and recognition that while the Levite portion and the city portion have been described as part of the holy Gift-offering (Ezekiel 48:18; Ezekiel 48:20) they are only so secondarily. In Ezekiel 48:21 the Levite portion is included in the holy... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 48:1-35

Ezekiel 48. The Tribal Allotments.— The holy city, Jerusalem, with its environments is significantly regarded as the true centre, geographical no less than religious, of the country; but, as in point of fact it really lay in the southern half, the prophet, in his ideal allotment of the land, makes a concession to geographical fact by putting seven tribes to the north, arranged in parallel strips, viz. Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, and Judah ( Ezekiel 48:1-Judges :), and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 48:22

That we may clearly understand this, we must remember that the portion of Judah was laid from west to east next to the holy portion, and the portion of Benjamin is in Ezekiel 48:23 laid likewise from west to east next to the possession of the city. So that on each side the extent of Judah and Benjamin run out to twenty-three miles and three quarters farther than the holy portion and possession of the city did; and all the land contained between the borders of Judah and Benjamin were the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 48:1-35

THE IDEAL ALLOTMENT OF THE HOLY LAND. (Chap. 48)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—The order of the original occupation of the Holy Land by the tribes under Joshua is partly, but only partly, followed. It is a new order of things, and its ideal character is evinced, as elsewhere, by exact and equal measurements. From north to south seven tribes succeed each other—Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, Judah, each occupying the full breadth of the land from east to west. Then comes a portion separated... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 48:1-35

REFLECTIONS. In the forty fifth chapter, the prophet had begun to describe the division of the land, but being attracted by the astonishing waters of the river of life, he digressed to describe their healing virtues, and the course they took towards the east. In the two verses preseding this chapter he resumes the subject. We may here remark, that the mode of dividing the country is very dissimilar from that made by Joshua, for here we find that strangers are allowed an inheritance with the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 48:1-35

Ezekiel 48:1-35The Lord is there.Ezekiel’s last visionThe following are some of the principal heads of prophetic instruction intended by the vision.1. That there was to be an entire new state of things in the Church. This is intimated by the new order in the arrangement of the tribes, which is not according to the birth of the patriarchs, nor the blessing of Jacob, nor the allotments they received in the ancient division of the land by Joshua. It is farther intimated by the grant of a distinct... read more
