The context is the vision of the restored land of Israel, which Ezekiel receives as part of his prophetic ministry. This division is significant as it reflects God's covenant faithfulness to the twelve tribes, despite their historical unfaithfulness. The allocation of land is a fulfillment of the promises made to the patriarchs, particularly Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<p><b>Benjamin will have one portion:</b><br>The tribe of Benjamin is given a specific allotment of land. Historically, Benjamin was one of the smaller tribes, yet it held a significant position due to its location near Jerusalem. This allocation underscores the importance of Benjamin in Israel's history, as it was the tribe of King Saul and later, the Apostle Paul. The mention of Benjamin here also highlights the restoration theme, as the tribe had suffered greatly during the division of the kingdom and the subsequent exiles.<p><b>extending from the east side to the west side:</b><br>This phrase describes the geographical boundaries of Benjamin's portion, stretching from east to west. This east-west orientation is consistent with the other tribal allocations in Ezekiel's vision, symbolizing equality and order in the distribution of the land. The east-west division may also reflect the idea of completeness and wholeness, as it encompasses the entire breadth of the land. This allocation is part of the larger vision of a restored Israel, where each tribe receives its inheritance, pointing to a future hope of unity and peace.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/benjamin.htm">Benjamin</a></b><br>One of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Jacob's youngest son.

Each tribe should receive, as those north of the terumah, one portion. The exact extent of this equal portion, though not stated, may be calculated - Latitude of entrance to Hamath 34° 20' Latitude of Kadesh (say) 30° 30' 3° 50' 60 × 3 5/6 - 230 geographical miles. But the whole breadth of the terumah was 25,000 reeds = 37 geographical miles. Hence 230 - 37 - 193 miles, which, divided by 12, gives 16 miles of breadth (from north to south) for each portion. The precise length from east to west is more difficult to estimate, in consequence of the varying widths of the land. Accepting this, however, as 55 miles at Jerusalem, the breadth of the prince's portion from east to west would be only 2½ miles on each side of the terumah; which, multiplied by 50 miles from north to south, would yield an area of 125 square miles on each side, or of 250 square miles in all. The disposition of the southern tribes differs from that made under the earlier division of the land - Simeon alone lying where he had been formerly placed, in the south quarter, Issachar and Zebulun being fetched from the north, Benjamin from the middle, and Gad from the west to keep him company. Upon the whole, the new arrangement has several marked peculiarities which distinguish it from the old. While agreeing with the old in this, that the three tribes, Dan, Asher, and Naphtali retain their original places in the north, and the temple is not deprived of its central position between Judah and Benjamin, it differs from the old in placing the three northern tribes side by side from west to east, but after one another from north to south, and exchanges the positions of Benjamin and Judah, transferring the former to the south and the latter to the north of the temple and the city. Then, while under the old neither priests, Levites, nor prince had a portion, all three obtain one in this. And, finally, while under the old no regard was had to the temple, in the new this forms the central point of the whole. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">As for the rest</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיֶ֖תֶר</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ye·ṯer)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3499.htm">Strong's 3499: </a> </span><span class="str2">An overhanging, an excess, superiority, remainder, a small rope</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the tribes:</span><br /><span class="heb">הַשְּׁבָטִ֑ים</span> <span class="translit">(haš·šə·ḇā·ṭîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7626.htm">Strong's 7626: </a> </span><span class="str2">Rod, staff, club, scepter, tribe</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Benjamin</span><br /><span class="heb">בִּנְיָמִ֥ן</span> <span class="translit">(bin·yā·min)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1144.htm">Strong's 1144: </a> </span><span class="str2">Benjamin -- 'son of the right hand', youngest son of Jacob, also the name of two other Israelites</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will have one portion</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶחָֽד׃</span> <span class="translit">(’e·ḥāḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> </span><span class="str2">United, one, first</span><br /><br /><span class="word">extending from the east</span><br /><span class="heb">קָדִ֛ימָה</span> <span class="translit">(qā·ḏî·māh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular | third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6921.htm">Strong's 6921: </a> </span><span class="str2">The fore, front part, the East</span><br /><br /><span class="word">side</span><br /><span class="heb">מִפְּאַ֥ת</span> <span class="translit">(mip·pə·’aṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6285.htm">Strong's 6285: </a> </span><span class="str2">Mouth, direction, region, extremity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to</span><br /><span class="heb">עַד־</span> <span class="translit">(‘aḏ-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> </span><span class="str2">As far as, even to, up to, until, while</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the</span><br /><span class="heb">פְּאַת־</span> <span class="translit">(pə·’aṯ-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6285.htm">Strong's 6285: </a> </span><span class="str2">Mouth, direction, region, extremity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">west side.</span><br /><span class="heb">יָ֖מָּה</span> <span class="translit">(yām·māh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular | third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> </span><span class="str2">A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/ezekiel/48-23.htm">Ezekiel 48:23 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/ezekiel/48-23.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 48:23 As for the rest of the tribes: (Ezek.
