Ezekiel 48:14 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 48:1-30

We have here a very short and ready way taken for the dividing of the land among the twelve tribes, not so tedious and so far about as the way that was taken in Joshua's time; for in the distribution of spiritual and heavenly blessings there is not that danger of murmuring and quarrelling that there is in the participation of the temporal blessings. When God gave to the labourers every one his penny those that were uneasy at it were soon put to silence with, May I not do what I will with my... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 48:14

And they shall not sell of it ,.... Any part of it that is allotted to them, neither the priests nor the Levites; simony is not to be practised: neither exchange ; for any other land in lieu of it: nor alienate the first fruits of the land ; or appropriate them to any other use than that of the priests and Levites: whatever is appointed for ecclesiastic uses ought not to be converted to any other; nor should church privileges be parted with on any account: ministers and other... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 48:1-20

Characteristics of the kingdom. The kingdom of God, here symbolized "with such imperfect materials of thought and utterance as then lay within the prophet's reach," was to be one that has not yet been realized; but with the overthrow of many superstitions, the breaking down of much corruption, and the birth and growth (or the revival) of much Christian zeal, it may be said that this fair vision is being fulfilled—that the kingdom of Christ is coming , though it is far from having come.... read more

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 terumah, or priests' portion ( Ezekiel 48:8-12 ), with the portions for the Levites ( Ezekiel 48:13 , Ezekiel 48:14 ), for the city ( Ezekiel 48:15-20 ), and for the prince ( Ezekiel 48:1 , Ezekiel 48:22 ). 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 48:14

An inalienable possession. The people were not permitted to sell their allotments, and especial provision was made to prevent the priests from parting with their share of the fruits of the land. I. THE CHRISTIAN INHERITANCE IS AN INALIENABLE POSSESSION . 1. No enemy can take it away . Christ secures it for his people, so that it is theirs forever. We may lose all earthly things in the shocks and changes of life, but the heavenly treasure abides. So long as we hold... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 48:13-14

Ezekiel 48:13-14. Over against the border of the priests It might be better translated, just by, or beside the border of the priests. The words import, that the border of the Levites should run parallel to that of the priests. And in the same sense the words should be translated in the 15th, 18th, and 21st verses of this chapter. And they shall not sell it, neither exchange Or, transfer, &c. As it was God’s portion, they were not to sell, or part with it, upon any pretence of... read more
