Context of Ezekiel 48:23

21The remaining area on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city will belong to the prince. He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, extending eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the holy district toward the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. And in the center of them will be the holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple. 22So the Levitical property and the city property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin. As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin will have one portion extending from the east side to the west side. 24Simeon will have one portion bordering the territory of Benjamin from east to west. 25Issachar will have one portion bordering the territory of Simeon from east to west.

The prince held a higher position than the rest of the people. However, he was below the priests and the Levites in rank and responsibility. His place in the land showed this order.
