In the context of Ezekiel's vision, this special portion is part of the larger division of the land among the tribes of Israel. The setting apart of land for the LORD emphasizes the importance of holiness and dedication to God. This concept of setting apart is seen throughout Scripture, such as in the consecration of the Tabernacle (<a href="/exodus/40-9.htm">Exodus 40:9</a>) and the Temple (<a href="/1_kings/8-63.htm">1 Kings 8:63</a>). It reflects the idea that certain things are reserved exclusively for God's use and glory.<p><b>shall be 25,000 cubits long</b><br>The measurement of 25,000 cubits indicates a significant size, suggesting the importance of this portion. A cubit is traditionally understood as the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, approximately 18 inches or 45 centimeters. This would make the length of the portion about 7.5 miles or 12 kilometers. The specific dimensions highlight the precision and orderliness of God's plans, reminiscent of the detailed instructions given for the construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25-27) and the Temple (1 Kings 6). It underscores the idea that God is a God of order and detail.<p><b>and 10,000 cubits wide</b><br>The width of 10,000 cubits, approximately 3 miles or 4.8 kilometers, further defines the area set apart for the LORD. This dimension, combined with the length, forms a rectangular area, which is a common shape for sacred spaces in ancient times. The specific measurements may symbolize completeness and perfection, reflecting God's perfect nature. The allocation of this land for sacred purposes can be seen as a foreshadowing of the New Jerusalem described in <a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21</a>, where the city is also measured with precise dimensions, symbolizing God's eternal dwelling with His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel received visions and prophecies concerning the restoration of Israel and the establishment of a new temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, to whom the special portion of land is dedicated.
