Ezekiel 48:16

"“The five thousand cubits that are left in the width, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for pasture lands; and the city shall be in the middle of it."

Key Reflection

These verses describe a layout where the remaining width beside the holy portion is designated for everyday use by the people, including dwellings and pastures, with the city placed centrally. This arrangement symbolizes the integration of sacred and secular life, ensuring that even common areas serve a purpose in the overall holiness of the community.
