EZEKIEL 48:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.”
The remaining portion, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand in length, shall be for common use by the city, for houses and for open country. The city shall be in the midst of it—allocating the eastern section of the holy district for the city of Jerusalem and its residents. The five-thousand-cubit width for common use contrasts with the priestly and Levitical portions. The placement of the city in the midst suggests it serves as a civic center. This verse specifies the city's land allotment.
