Boundaries for the Land

Ezekiel 48:21

48:21 “The rest, on both sides of the holy allotment and the property of the city, will belong to the prince. Extending from the eight and a quarter miles ¹⁰  of the holy allotment to the east border, and westward from the eight and a quarter miles ¹¹  to the west border, alongside the portions, it will belong to the prince. The holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it.

[11:11]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text does not have the negative particle, but it is implied. The negative particle in the previous line does double duty here.

[29:10]  ² tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.

[47:13]  ⁵ tn Or “territory”; see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:715.

[47:13]  ⁶ tc The grammar is awkward, though the presence of these words is supported by the versions. L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 2:274) suggests that it is an explanatory gloss.

[48:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).
