Ezekiel45:5

5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house have for themselves, for a possession, for twenty chambers.

As we render the words they are a little clouded, but as they are rendred in the French they are plainer, we read them, as if the verse spake of the same 25000 long, and 10000 broad, which the Priests have, but the French thus; there shall be other 25000 in length, and 10000 in breadth, which shall appertain to the Levites, who do the service of the house with twenty Chambers, so they have abroad in the Countrey equal share with the Priests, and in the outer Court or Courts about the house twenty chambers or rows of them in which to abide for their conveniencies, when in their Courses, they attend the Services they were to perform, as Porters, Singers, and Attendants on the Priests.
