In the breadth over against; or running along by the side. The five and twenty thousand; assigned to the Levites. A profane place; a common, not consecrated place, in which the city should be built, a place for all services, as men shall need. Now as that is counted holy which is set apart only for the service of God, so that common or profane that is for common uses. For dwelling; houses within the walls. For suburbs; streets and dwellings, or gardens without the walls. The city; Jerusalem. In the midst thereof; of this common place, which is called here profane; so that ten thousand are left at each end.
