This [shall be] holy in all the borders thereof round about.
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

shall divide by lot   Heb. cause the land to fall by lot. Eze 47:21; Eze 48:29; Num 34:13; Jos 13:6; Jos 14:2; Psa 16:5,6
ye shall offer   Eze 45:2-7; Eze 48:8-23; Lev 25:23; Pro 3:9
an holy portion   Heb. holiness. Zec 14:20,21
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. Eze 45:2, with Eze 42:16-19.) Estimating the reed at 3® 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, (Eze 45:1, 2.) Next to this, on the south, was the Levites' portion, of the same dimensions as that of the priests', (Eze 45:5;) 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, (Eze 45:6.) 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.
