Ezekiel 45:7
And a portion shalbe for the prince on the one side, and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the citie, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the citie from the West side Westward, and from the East side Eastward, and the length shalbe ouer against one of the portions from the West border vnto the East border. Ezekiel 45:7 (KJV)
And
a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border. Ezekiel 45:7 (KJV)
Ezekiel 45:7 is part of a larger section in the book of Ezekiel that details the future division of the land in the restored Israel during the millennial reign of Christ. This portion focuses on the allocation of land and resources to the prince or the leader of the people. In this verse, the “prince” refers to the leader or ruler who would govern the people of Israel in the future. The verse describes a specific portion of land that is set aside for the prince. This portion is situated on both sides of the holy portion and the possession of the city. It extends from the west border to the east border, aligning with one of the other portions. The passage emphasizes fairness and equity in the distribution of land and resources. It signifies that the prince, although occupying a position of leadership and authority, is not exempt from the laws and regulations concerning the division of land. The prince’s portion is established within the broader framework of the distribution of land, rather than being arbitrarily assigned. Overall, Ezekiel 45:7 highlights the importance of justice and impartiality in governance. It serves as a reminder that leaders should not abuse their power or privilege but should adhere to the principles of righteousness and equality. The verse also reflects the broader theme in Ezekiel, which emphasizes the future restoration and blessings that await Israel under the divine rule of the Messiah.
