Ezek. 48:1–7 The equal distribution of this territory among the 12 tribes begins in the north working south toward the central sacred district. Each tribe is allocated a strip running east to west (v. 1). Judah, the leading tribe of the old southern kingdom, borders the temple area to the north. North of Judah is Reuben, the firstborn of the patriarchs.
Ezek. 48:8–22 Much of this material has already been seen in 45:1–8 (see note there). The important addition is the location of the city and its surrounding region. It is placed in the southernmost east-west strip adjoining the Levites’ territory (48:15–19). At 4,500 cubits square, the city itself is about 1.4 miles (2.3 km) square.
Ezek. 48:23–29 The distribution of territory to the tribes continues south of the city. It begins with Benjamin (v. 23). Benjamin’s land had previously been to the immediate north of Judah in the old tribal land holdings.
Ezek. 48:30–35 Finally, the city gates are assigned to the 12 tribes. Because the sons of Levi (the priests, who have no property; see 44:28) require access to the city as well, the gates correspond to Jacob’s 12 sons. Thus, Ephraim and Manasseh are here represented by Joseph.
Ezek. 48:35 The city’s new name is to be The Lord Is There. Ezekiel’s final vision, and the whole of the book, is about the reality of God’s presence among his people (compare Rev. 22:3).
