Ezekiel45:6
6 ¶ And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad , and five and twenty thousand long over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
Order and measure out.
Land to be a possession to the Citizens of Ierusalem, and to be the content of the City.
About two miles, and half broad, and 12 miles and half long measured by the cubit, as ver. 3. directs.
This must run along parallel in length with the holy portion, though but half its breadth.
As the chief, and capital City, to which the Tribes resort, it must be large enough to entertain them too; and was to be framed with twelve gates to twelve streets, for the twelve Tribes, as chap. 48. ver. 31.
