Commentary on Ezekiel 48:6
Expositions from classic Bible commentators.
John Gill · Ezekiel 48:6
The oblation that ye shall offer to the Lord,.... That which belonged to the sanctuary, and to the priests, which was taken and separated for that use; which here, and in the following verses, is particularly and separately considered:
shall be of five and twenty thousand in length; that is, five and twenty thousand reeds from east to west:
and of ten thousand in breadth; from north to south; see Eze 45:3.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · Ezekiel 48:6–14
Reuben--doomed formerly for incest and instability "not to excel" (Gen 49:4). So no distinguished prophet, priest, or king had come from it. Of it were the notorious Dathan and Abiram, the mutineers. A pastoral and Bedouin character marked it and Gad (Jdg 5:16).
