Jump to Previous Benjamin East Extend Part Portion Rest Side Tribes WestJump to Next Benjamin East Extend Part Portion Rest Side Tribes WestEzekiel 48 1. The portions of the twelve tribes;8. of the sanctuary; 15. of the city and suburbs; 21. and of the prince. 23. The portions of the twelve tribes. 30. The dimensions and gates of the city. As for the rest of the tribes: This phrase indicates a continuation of the division of the land among the tribes of Israel, as described in the preceding verses. The context is the vision of the restored land of Israel, which Ezekiel receives as part of his prophetic ministry. This division is significant as it reflects God's covenant faithfulness to the twelve tribes, despite their historical unfaithfulness. The allocation of land is a fulfillment of the promises made to the patriarchs, particularly Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Benjamin will have one portion: extending from the east side to the west side: Persons / Places / Events 1. BenjaminOne of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's youngest son. Known for its warriors and significant figures like King Saul and the Apostle Paul. 2. Tribes of Israel The descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob, each forming a distinct tribe. In Ezekiel 48, the land is being divided among these tribes. 3. Land Allocation The division of the Promised Land among the tribes, as described in Ezekiel 48, reflects God's covenant and promise to Israel. Teaching Points God's Faithfulness to His PromisesThe allocation of land to Benjamin and other tribes underscores God's unwavering commitment to His covenant with Israel. Unity and Diversity in God's People Each tribe, including Benjamin, has a unique role and portion, reflecting the diversity within the unity of God's people. The Importance of Heritage and Identity Understanding one's spiritual heritage, as seen in the tribal allocations, can strengthen faith and identity in Christ. The Role of Prophecy in God's Plan Ezekiel's vision of land division is a prophetic assurance of God's future plans for Israel, encouraging believers to trust in God's ultimate plan.(23) The rest of the tribes.--In Ezekiel 48:23-29 the remaining five tribes have their portions assigned on the south of the oblation in precisely the same way as the seven on the north.Verses 23-29. - As for the rest of the tribes, these should follow on the south of the city portion, in parallel tracts, from east to west - Benjamin: Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad - till the southern boundary of the land should be reached, which boundary is again defined as in Ezekiel 47:19. Each tribe should receive, as those north of the terumah, one portion. The exact extent of this equal portion, though not stated, may be calculated - Latitude of entrance to Hamath 34° 20' Latitude of Kadesh (say) 30° 30' 3° 50' 60 × 3 5/6 - 230 geographical miles. But the whole breadth of the terumah was 25,000 reeds = 37 geographical miles. Hence 230 - 37 - 193 miles, which, divided by 12, gives 16 miles of breadth (from north to south) for each portion. The precise length from east to west is more difficult to estimate, in consequence of the varying widths of the land. Accepting this, however, as 55 miles at Jerusalem, the breadth of the prince's portion from east to west would be only 2½ miles on each side of the terumah; which, multiplied by 50 miles from north to south, would yield an area of 125 square miles on each side, or of 250 square miles in all. The disposition of the southern tribes differs from that made under the earlier division of the land - Simeon alone lying where he had been formerly placed, in the south quarter, Issachar and Zebulun being fetched from the north, Benjamin from the middle, and Gad from the west to keep him company. Upon the whole, the new arrangement has several marked peculiarities which distinguish it from the old. While agreeing with the old in this, that the three tribes, Dan, Asher, and Naphtali retain their original places in the north, and the temple is not deprived of its central position between Judah and Benjamin, it differs from the old in placing the three northern tribes side by side from west to east, but after one another from north to south, and exchanges the positions of Benjamin and Judah, transferring the former to the south and the latter to the north of the temple and the city. Then, while under the old neither priests, Levites, nor prince had a portion, all three obtain one in this. And, finally, while under the old no regard was had to the temple, in the new this forms the central point of the whole. Parallel Commentaries ...
