The use of “sanctuary” in the sense of sacred territory can hardly be supported by evidence, though the idea of a sacred territory around a sacred house or locality is a common one in the East. LXX. reads: a place for houses set apart for their sanctity, i.e. possibly: houses set apart for them (the priests), they being holy. No satisfactory emendation has been proposed.<\/p>\n Verse 4<\/span>. The holy portion<\/B><\/I>] See the plan, A. See Clarke on Eze 48:35<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n The holy portion; <\/B>the whole contents of twelve miles and half long, and five broad. <\/P> For the priests; <\/B>sons of Zadok, who minister to the Lord, and others with them, who, though degraded from the priestly honour, yet lived upon priestly provision. <\/P> A place for their houses; <\/B>in which twenty-three of twenty-four courses of priests may dwell conveniently, while the twenty-fourth minister at the temple, as by order they did. <\/P> And an holyplace; <\/B>and how much God did reserve to himself for his dwelling is expressly mentioned. Thus God makes himself and what is his the inheritance and possession of the priests his servants, as he told them, Eze 44:28<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary<\/strong>,…. That is, the rest of it, which is not for the sanctuary, shall be for the use of the priests that minister in holy things in the sanctuary; either the ministers of the Gospel, who shall have a sufficient maintenance from the churches of Christ, as the priests had under the law: or it may be meant of all the saints, who are priests unto God, and serve and worship him in his sanctuary; who shall all be satisfied with the goodness and fatness of his house, the word and ordinances, and the blessings of grace conveyed by them:<\/p>\n which shall come near to minister unto the Lord<\/strong>; these sons of Zadok, these faithful ones, in the worst of times; see Eze 44:15<\/span>:<\/p>\n and it shall be a place for their houses<\/strong>; in this large spot shall be many congregated churches, houses of the living God, where his priests and people dwell, and will be serving and praising him:<\/p>\n and an holy place for the sanctuary<\/strong>; which may denote the church of God in general, as houses may do particular churches.<\/p>\n “It is a holy portion of the land. It shall be for the priests, for the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to Yahweh. And it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.”<\/p>\n Once again we have the stress on the fact that the holy sanctuary is surrounded by a ‘holy portion’ of land. It is ‘a holy place for the sanctuary’ (this is in such contrast to Eze 42:20<\/span>). And in this holy portion the priests are to build their houses, away from the city, totally separated to Yahweh. In other words the hearts of the priests are to be totally wedded to the heavenly sanctuary with their lives centred on it. This is to be man’s ideal. It is incipiently pointing to the Kingly Rule of God. ‘Seek first His Kingly Rule and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Mat 6:33<\/span>).<\/p>\n Eze 45:4 The holy [portion] of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.<\/p>\n Ver. 4. And it shall be a place for their houses.<\/strong> ] Ministers should he resident upon their charges, and as incumbent, dwell near, and as it were lean over their work.<\/p>\n shall be = it [shall be]. <\/p>\n the LORD.
