Ezekiel 48:1
英文原文
The distribution of the holy land is seen in detail throughout Ezekiel 48. The order of the original occupation by the tribes under Joshua is partly, but only partly, followed. It is a new order of things - and its ideal character is evinced as elsewhere, by exact and equal measurements. From north to south seven tribes succeed each other. Then comes a portion, separated as an offering to the Lord, subdivided into:
(1) a northern portion for the Levites,
(2) a central portion for the priests and the temple,
(3) a southern portion for the city and those who serve it.
These three form a square, which does not occupy the whole breadth of the land, but is flanked on either side, east and west, by portions assigned to the prince. Then follow, south of the city, five portions for the five remaining tribes - similar to those assigned to the seven. Thus the Levites, the temple, and city, are guarded by Judah and Benjamin, the two tribes who had throughout preserved their allegiance to the true sovereignty of Yahweh, and thus the plan expresses the presence of Yahweh among His people, summed up in the name of the city, with which Ezekiel's prophecy closes, the Lord is there.
The breadth of the portions is not given, but since the exact breadth of the oblation was about 30 geog. miles (Ezekiel 45:1 note), and seven tribes were between the entrance of Hamath and the oblation, the "breadth of one portion" was about 17 geog. miles. The breadth of the Levites' portion and of the priests' portion was in each case about 15 geog. miles. Ain-el-Weibeh, if Kadesh, ( (?),see Numbers 13:26) would be very nearly the southern border.
The general lines of existing features are followed with considerable fidelity, but accommodation is made to give the required symbolic expression. "Dan" had originally an allotment west of Benjamin, but having colonized and given its name to Laish in the north, was regarded as the most northern occupant of Canaan Judges 18:29. "Zebulun and Issachar" are removed to the south to make room for the second half of "Manasseh" brought over from the east of Jordan. "Reuben," brought over from the east, is placed between "Ephraim and Judah." "Benjamin" comes immediately south of the city, and "Gad" is brought over from the east to the extreme south.

Ezekiel 48:8
「長度」始終是由西向東量度，正如「寬度」是由北向南量度一樣。
那供地（Ezekiel 48:9-22），即「聖供地」，在此包括歸祭司、利未人、城與君王的一切地土；各部分彼此區分。這一切合起來，要像其他支派的地業一樣，由西向東延伸，想像中的約旦河乃是它們共同的東界。
英文原文
"Length" is throughout measured from west to east, as breadth is from north to south.
The offering Ezekiel 48:9-22, or, "oblation," here includes all the land given to priests, Levites, city, and prince; the different parts being distinguished. All these together are to extend from west to east in the same way as the portions of the other tribes, the imaginary Jordan being the eastern boundary of all.

Ezekiel 48:10
朝北……朝東……——意即：這些尺寸是「沿北面和東面」等量度的。
英文原文
Toward the north ... toward the east ... - i. e., the measurements are "along the north and east sides," etc.
15
Ezekiel 48:15
這五千……——即南北25,000竿正方形中餘下的部分。
俗用——指作平常用途，有別於歸耶和華為聖之物。
英文原文
The five thousand ... - The remainder of the square of 25,000 reeds from north to south.
Profane - For common use, as distinguished from that which is holy unto the Lord.
17
Ezekiel 48:17
城是四千五百竿見方，故從城的屬地向東、西、南、北各劃出二百五十竿為郊野。
英文原文
The city being 4500 reeds square, 250 reeds are marked off north, south, east, west from the city land.

Ezekiel 48:18
Ezekiel 48:18
服事這城的人——即耕種的人和農夫。
英文原文
Ezekiel 48:18
Then, that serve - i. e., the cultivators or farmers.
19
Ezekiel 48:19
從前這城屬便雅憫與猶大，居民也多來自這二支派；如今眾支派都在城中有同等的分，免生嫉爭（比較 2 Samuel 19:43）。
英文原文
Of old the city belonged to Benjamin and Judah, and its inhabitants were mainly from these tribes. Now all the tribes are to have equal part in it, and avoid jealousies (compare 2 Samuel 19:43).
20
Ezekiel 48:20
聖供地……連——或作「四分之一作聖供地，為……」等。
英文原文
The holy ... with ... - Or, "a fourth part as the holy oblation, for" etc.
21
Ezekiel 48:21
或作：「其餘的地要歸君王：聖供地和城的屬地兩側，東界對著那25,000，西面對著那25,000，即對著（供地夾在其間的猶大與便雅憫的）地段，都要歸君王；聖供地和殿的聖所必在其中間。」這準確描述了君王地段位於「供地」兩旁的位置。
英文原文
Or, "And the residue shall be for the prince - on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city over against the 25,000 of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the 25,000 toward the west border, over against the portions (of Judah and Benjamin, between which the oblation was included), shall be "for the prince; and it shall be that the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof." This exactly describes the position of the prince's allotments on the borders of the "oblations."

Ezekiel 48:30
城的出入口——即 Ezekiel 48:31 所描述的各城門。「量度」（竿）是就各邊而言。經文可如此分段：Ezekiel 48:30「這是城的各出入口」；Ezekiel 48:31「北面四千五百肘，城的門按以色列眾支派的名字命名：北面有三門」等。
英文原文
The goings out of the city - The gates described in Ezekiel 48:31. "Measures" (reeds) concern the sides. Divide the verses thus: Ezekiel 48:30. "And these are the goings out of the city. Ezekiel 48:31. On the north side 4500 measures: and the gates of the city after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward etc."

Ezekiel 48:35
城牆的周長——每邊四千五百竿的方形，周長共一萬八千竿，約合英制不到三十七哩。約瑟夫按他那時代的計算，耶路撒冷的周長約為四哩。
那城的名字……——以命名的方式向城邑、民族等表達屬靈含義，是先知們慣用的手法（見 Ezekiel 43:15 的註釋）。耶柔米這樣解釋：「這城的名字必不再稱為耶路撒冷（『平安的異象』），而要稱為阿多乃沙瑪（Adonai-shama，『主在那裏』）——更宜作耶和華沙瑪（Jehovah-shammah，『耶和華的所在』）——因為耶和華必不再像從前那樣離開它，而要永遠持守它作祂的產業。」神榮耀的可見同在，曾表顯於會幕和聖殿中，如今已經離去，也不再以同樣的形式返回。然而以西結在「神的異象」中看見一座重建的聖殿，以接受神同在的榮耀——這預言性的異象在以馬內利（「神與我們同在」）身上得著應驗，祂在人中間支搭帳幕（John 1:14）。比較 Romans 9:25；Revelation 21:2-3。
英文原文
The circuit of the city walls, a square of 4500 reeds, was 18,000 reeds, not quite 37 English miles. The circuit of Jerusalem in the time of Josephus was reckoned by him to be about four miles.
The name ... - The manner of expressing a spiritual meaning by giving a name to a city, a people, or the like, is familiar to the prophets (see Ezekiel 43:15 note). Jerome explains it: "The name of the city shall be no longer Jerusalem ("the vision of peace"), but Adonai-shama ("the Lord is there") (rather, Jehovah-shammah, "Jehovah is there"), because Yahweh will never again withdraw from it, as He once withdrew, but will hold it as His everlasting possession." The visible presence of God's glory, once represented in the tabernacle and in the temple, had departed, and should not return in the same form. Yet Ezekiel in "visions of God" sees a temple reconstructed to receive the glory of the divine presence, a prophetic vision fulfilled in Emmanuel ("God with us"), who tabernacled among men John 1:14. Compare Romans 9:25; Revelation 21:2-3.
聖地的分配，在以西結書四十八章中有詳細的描述。各支派在約書亞手下最初佔地的次序，只有部分被沿用。這是一個新的秩序——其理想的性質，一如別處，由精確而均等的尺度表明。從北到南，七個支派依次相接。隨後是一段分別為歸耶和華之供物的區域，再細分為：
（1）北段，歸利未人；
（2）中段，歸祭司和聖殿；
（3）南段，歸聖城和在城中服役的人。
這三段合成一個正方形，並不佔盡那地的全寬，其東西兩側由分配給君王的區域毗連。再往南，在聖城以南，是其餘五個支派的五份地業——與分給七個支派的相似。這樣，利未人、聖殿和聖城便處於猶大和便雅憫的護衛之中——這兩個支派始終持守對耶和華真主權的忠誠。因此，這整個規劃表達了耶和華住在祂子民中間；這意義凝聚在以西結預言結尾時那城的名字裏——「耶和華的所在」。
各份地業的寬度並未載明；但既然供地的確實寬度約為三十地理哩（見 Ezekiel 45:1 的註釋），而七個支派位於哈馬口和供地之間，那麼「一份地業的寬度」約為十七地理哩。利未人的份和祭司的份，寬度各約十五地理哩。艾因厄爾韋貝若是加低斯（見 Numbers 13:26），便幾乎正好是南界。
現有地形的輪廓被相當忠實地沿用，但有所調整，以成就所需的象徵性表達。「但」支派原得的地業在便雅憫以西，但因他們在北方殖民、把自己的名字給了拉億，便被視為迦南最北的居民（Judges 18:29）。「西布倫和以薩迦」被遷往南方，為約但河東帶過來的「瑪拿西」後半支派騰出位置。從河東帶過來的「流便」，被安置在「以法蓮和猶大」之間。「便雅憫」緊接聖城之南；「迦得」則從河東帶過來，置於最南端。
