      1;  The portion of land for the sanctuary;
      6;  for the city;
      7;  and for the prince.
      9;  Ordinances for the prince.

     * shall divide by lot.  Heb. cause the land to fall by lot.
     # 47:21; 48:29; Nu 34:13; Jos 13:6; 14:2; Ps 16:5,6|
     * ye shall offer.
     # 2-7; 48:8-23; Le 25:23; Pr 3:9|
     * an holy portion.  Heb. holiness.
     # Zec 14:20,21|
     * the length.
       That our translators rightly added the word reeds, is evident
       from the length and breadth of the sanctuary being exactly the
       same as before, (comp. ver. 2, with ch. 42:16-19.)  Estimating
       the reed at 3芟yards, this holy oblation would constitute a
       square of nearly fifty miles on every side.  From the north
       side a portion of nearly twenty miles in width, and nearly
       fifty in length, was appointed for the priests; and in the
       midst of this portion, the area of the sanctuary, about a mile
       square, to be enclosed by a wall, (ver. 1, 2.)  Next to this,
       on the south, was the Levites' portion, of the same dimensions
       as that of the priests', (ver. 5;) and south of this was the
       portion for the city, of the same length as those of the
       priests and Levites, but only half the width, (ver. 6.)  These
       three formed the square of 25,000; reeds, or nearly fifty
       miles; and that set apart for the prince, the breadth of which
       is not mentioned, extended in length from north to south,
       along the east and west sides of the square.  As Canaan would
       not admit of so large a portion for the sanctuary, etc., this
       was no doubt intended to intimate the large extent of the
       church in the glorious times predicted.
