Ezekiel 45:1 The portion of land for the sanctuary;
Ezekiel 45:6 for the city;
Ezekiel 45:7 and for the prince.
Ezekiel 45:9 Ordinances for the prince.

shall divide by lot. Heb. cause the land to fall by lot.
Ezekiel 47:21; Ezekiel 48:29; Numbers 34:13; Joshua 13:6; Joshua 14:2; Psalms 16:5; Psalms 16:6
ye shall offer.
Ezekiel 45:2-7; Ezekiel 48:8-23; Leviticus 25:23; Proverbs 3:9
an holy portion. Heb. holiness.
Zechariah 14:20; Zechariah 14:21
the length.That our translators rightly added the word reeds, is evident from the length and breadth of the sanctuary being exactly the same as before, (comp. ver. 2, with ch. 42:16-19.) Estimating the reed at 3\u65533 yards, this holy oblation would constitute a square of nearly fifty miles on every side. From the north side a portion of nearly twenty miles in width, and nearly fifty in length, was appointed for the priests; and in the midst of this portion, the area of the sanctuary, about a mile square, to be enclosed by a wall, (ver. 1, 2.) Next to this, on the south, was the Levites' portion, of the same dimensions as that of the priests', (ver. 5;) and south of this was the portion for the city, of the same length as those of the priests and Levites, but only half the width, (ver. 6.) These three formed the square of 25,000 reeds, or nearly fifty miles; and that set apart for the prince, the breadth of which is not mentioned, extended in length from north to south, along the east and west sides of the square. As Canaan would not admit of so large a portion for the sanctuary, etc., this was no doubt intended to intimate the large extent of the church in the glorious times predicted.
