     * for the city.
       The holy oblation of 25,000; square reeds, or near fifty square
       miles, was divided into three parts from north to south (see
       on ch. 45:1):  a portion on the north of 10,000; reeds in
       width, and 25,000; in length, for the priests, in the midst of
       which was the sanctuary or temple, surrounded by a wall 500
       reeds square, (ver. 9, 10; see on ch. 42:15;) next to this
       another portion of the same dimensions for the Levites, (ver.
       13, 14;) and on the south another portion of the same length,
       but only 5,000; reeds in breadth, for the city (ver. 15.)  The
       city was situated in the midst of this portion, being 4,500
       reeds, or about nine miles square, (see on ver. 30,) having a
       suburb of 250; reeds, or about half a mile, on each side, (ver.
       17,) leaving 10,000; reeds or nearly ten miles, on the east
       side, and the same on the west side, for the profit of those
       who serve the city out of all the tribes, (ver. 18, 19.)  On
       the east and west sides of this square of 25,000; reeds, is the
       portion of the prince; each of which, estimating the breadth
       of the land at 150; miles, would form a square of fifty miles.
       Thus the whole plan of the division of the country, laying out
       of the city, temple, and all its appendages, is perfectly
       regular and uniform; and would therefore convey to the minds
       of the Jews the most complete idea they were capable of
       conceiving of the most perfect church, commonwealth, city,
       temple, and conveniences, on the largest and grandest scale
       for the Divine worship; and it doubtless ultimately points out
       the land of Immanuel, the city of the New Jerusalem, and his
       temple, the Christian church, the house of the living God.
