Ezekiel 48:22 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Moreover from, or rather, beyond, the possession of the Levites, and beyond the possession of the city That is, the possessions belonging to the priests and Levites, and the city, were to be bounded on the east and west side with the prince's portion; so those were to lie in the middle, and this beyond them. Between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be for the prince The border of Judah was to extend from east to west, next to the holy portion, on the north side, (see Ezekiel 48:1-8,) and the border of Benjamin from east to west, next the allotment set apart for the city, on the south side: see Ezekiel 48:23-28. The several portions allotted for the priests, the Levites, and the city, were to extend only to the length of twenty-five thousand cubits from east to west; so that wherever ground ran in a parallel line eastward and westward beyond that boundary, even to the land's end, was to belong to the prince. And, supposing the whole country to be sixty miles in breadth, and the holy portion about seven miles square, there will remain above twenty-six miles, both on the east and west side, for the prince's share.
