Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 48:13-14

The other Levitical priests would have an allotment the same size next to the allotment of the Zadokite priests. They were not to sell or exchange any of this land for other land because it was holy to the Lord. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 48:1-35

The Division of the Land and the Plan of the City(a) The Tribes (Ezekiel 48:1-7; Ezekiel 48:23-29)These were twelve in number, as the two tribes descended from Joseph (Ezekiel 47:13) made up for the exclusion of Levi. From the N. border (Ezekiel 48:1) to the S. border (Ezekiel 48:28) the country was divided into 13 parallel zones, running across it from the E. to the W. boundary. Starting from the N., seven of these were assigned in order to the tribes of Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh,... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 48:1-35

The Ideal City Ezekiel 48:8 I. And the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. This need not startle us unduly; we come here somewhat suddenly upon a great philosophy: this is how all things are moulded and ruled and blessed. It is so in the case of the individual heart It is a poor life that has not the sanctuary in the midst of it; it may be invisible: God is a Spirit, and not to be seen; to see Him is to annihilate Him. How poor a life it would be without the unseen, the invisible, the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 48:1-35

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

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 48:1-35

CHAPTER 48 1. The portion of the seven tribes (Ezekiel 48:1-7 ) 2. The oblation for the sanctuary, for the city, and for the prince (Ezekiel 48:8-20 ) 3. The gates of the city and its new name (Ezekiel 48:30-35 ) Without entering into the measurements, the architecture, and other features of this great temple, we point out a few things which are important. First, as to the contents of the interior of this temple. The words “silver and gold” are not mentioned once in Ezekiel 40:1-49 ;... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 48:1-35

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 48:9-22

Here are directions, very largely given, for the different services of the several tribes, and their importance; of which we cannot now speak particularly. It is on these points, this striking prophecy more immediately abounds with difficulties. Probably the millennium will explain the whole. read more
