Ezekiel 48

21. and of the prince.
23. The portions of the twelve tribes.
30. The dimensions and gates of the city.














On the east side
The east side of the city holds significant spiritual symbolism in the Bible. In Hebrew culture, the east often represents the direction of the rising sun, symbolizing new beginnings, hope, and divine intervention. The east is also the direction from which God's glory returns to the temple in Ezekiel 43:2. This positioning suggests a place of prominence and expectation, where the presence of God is anticipated.

4,500 cubits long
The measurement of 4,500 cubits indicates a precise and divinely ordained structure. In ancient times, a cubit was a standard unit of length, approximately 18 inches or 45 centimeters. The specificity of this measurement underscores the order and intentionality of God's design for the city. It reflects the perfection and completeness of God's plan, as the number 4,500 can be seen as a multiple of significant biblical numbers, such as 12 (representing the tribes of Israel) and 10 (symbolizing completeness).

three gates
Gates in biblical times were not only entry points but also places of judgment, commerce, and social interaction. The presence of three gates on this side of the city signifies accessibility and openness, inviting the tribes of Israel to enter and commune with God. The number three often represents divine completeness and the Trinity, suggesting that these gates are a means of entering into the fullness of God's presence.

the gate of Joseph
Joseph, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, is a figure of redemption and providence. His story, marked by suffering and eventual exaltation in Egypt, is a testament to God's sovereignty and faithfulness. The inclusion of a gate named after Joseph highlights themes of reconciliation and divine purpose, reminding believers of God's ability to turn trials into triumphs.

the gate of Benjamin
Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob, represents strength and resilience. His tribe was known for its warriors and played a significant role in Israel's history. The gate of Benjamin symbolizes the enduring strength and protection that God provides to His people. It serves as a reminder of the spiritual fortitude required to enter and dwell in God's holy city.

the gate of Dan
Dan, another son of Jacob, is associated with judgment and discernment. The tribe of Dan was tasked with upholding justice and righteousness. The gate of Dan signifies the importance of living a life aligned with God's laws and principles. It calls believers to self-examination and adherence to divine justice as they seek to enter the presence of God.
