Structure

NKJV groups this chapter into:

Verse 1

An image by Henry Sulley of Ezekiel's Temple, with flowing water.
Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. (NKJV)[6]

Verse 13

Map of the Land of Israel as defined in Numbers 34 and Ezekiel 47.
Thus says the Lord God:
“These are the borders by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel.
Joseph shall have two portions.” (NKJV)[10]
  • The vision of new Exodus and settlement received by Ezekiel is followed by the "new allotment of the land".[11] The tribe of Levi (the priests) receives a land of its own (Ezekiel 45:1-8; Ezekiel 48:8-14), so the tribe of Joseph receive two portions to maintain a total of "twelve tribes".[12]
