The Prophet Ezekiel: An Analytical Exposition
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Bible. Ezekiel -- Commentaries
The oblation that ye shall offer unto the Lord shall be of five and
twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. And for
them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the
north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten
thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth,
and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the
sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof. It shall be for
the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have
kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel
went astray, as the Levites went astray. And this oblation of the
land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the
border of the Levites. And over against the border of the priests
the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten
thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty
thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. And they shall not sell of
it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for
it is holy unto the Lord.
And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the
five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for
dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst
thereof. And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side
four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and
five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred,
and the west side four thousand and five hundred. And the suburbs of
the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward
the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and
fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. And the residue in
length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten
thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over
against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof
shall be for food unto them that serve the city. And they that serve
the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. All the
oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty
thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the
possession of the city.
