Ezekiel 48 is the forty-eighth (and the last) chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] This book contains the prophecies spoken by the prophet Ezekiel, and is a part of the Books of the Prophets.[3][4] Chapters 40-48 give the ideal picture of a new temple. This chapter contains Ezekiel's vision of the portions of the twelve tribes, Ezekiel 48:1-7,23-29, of the sanctuary, Ezekiel 48:8-14, of the city and suburbs, Ezekiel 48:15-20, and of the prince, Ezekiel 48:21,22; and the dimensions and gates of the city, Ezekiel 48:30-35.[5]
