Commentaries on Ezekiel 48:24

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 21-29The land that lay to the east and west of the holy square completed the rest of the central area. This land was assigned to the prince.

The design of the temple complex taught the same lesson. The arrangement of space showed clear levels of authority and holiness.Read the comment
