Ezekiel 45:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Of this whole consecrate portion of twenty-five thousand cubits long, or twelve miles and half, and ten thousand broad, or five miles and little more. For the sanctuary; for a platform for the sanctuary, both house and courts. Five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth; five hundred cubits square, which is about one-fourth of a mile square. Fifty cubits; which amount to twenty-nine yards and half a foot. This bears some proportion to the contents of that square, which is one quarter of a mile in each side; but fifty cubits suburb to that square, that should be supposed to have sides each a mile, a half, and half quarter long. The suburbs thereof: place round about this the five hundred cubits square mountain of the house.
