Chapter 48 29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.30 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.31 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
The Book of Ezekiel is a book of the Hebrew Bible, and also recognized as canonical by most denominations of Christianity. The book derives its name from the prophet Ezekiel, a prophet of the 6th century BC. This book records Ezekiel's preaching. His name (Hebrew Yekhezqe’l) means "God strengthens" or "May God strengthen". Ezekiel lived out his prophetic career among the community of exiled Judeans in Babylon. He belonged to the priestly class and was married (see Ezk. 24:15-24), but it is doubtful whether he had any children.
The frequent use of vivid, symbolic language causes this book to have much in common with the Book of Revelation in the New Testament.
