.. and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 48:10
It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. Ezekiel 48:11,12
And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the Lord. Ezekiel 48:14
And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 48:15
It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there. Ezekiel 48:35
⇒ The Book of Ezekiel closes with a new division of the land among the 12 tribes of Israel. As for the city to lie in the center of the regathered tribes, it too will have a new name: The Lord is THERE!
