Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Bible chapter

Ezekiel 48 is the forty-eighth (and the last) chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet/priest Ezekiel,[3] and is one of the Books of the Prophets.[4] Chapters 40-48 give the ideal picture of a new temple. The Jerusalem Bible refers to this section as "the Torah of Ezekiel".[5]

This chapter contains Ezekiel's vision of the land allocated to the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 48:1-7 and 23–29), the sanctuary (verses 8–14), the city and its suburbs (verses 15–20), the prince (verses 21–22) and the dimensions and gates of the city (verses 30–35).[6] The vision was given on the 25th anniversary of Ezekiel's exile, "April 28, 573 BCE",Шаблон:Sfn 14 years after the fall of Jerusalem and 12 years after the last messages of hope in chapter 39.Шаблон:Sfn

Text

The original text was written in the Hebrew language. This chapter is divided into 35 verses.

Textual witnesses

Файл:1729 Schryver Map of Israel showing 12 Tribes - Geographicus - Israel-schryver-1729.jpg
A map of ancient Israel, most likely drawn by the Dutch engraver Schryver in 1729, showing Israel from Hethelon in the north to Kades, just south of the Dead Sea, mostly drawn from the Book of Ezekiel, describing the region.

Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008).Шаблон:Sfn

There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BC. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; <math> \mathfrak{G}</math>Q; 6th century).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn

Structure

The New King James Version divides this chapter into two sections:

Шаблон:AnchorThe northern tribes (48:1–7)

Файл:Det heliga landet enl Hesekiel.jpg
Diagram of the Holy land according to Ezekiel, the prophet. In: "Biblia, det är All den Heliga Skrift, af P. Fjellstedt." Second volume. New edition (1890).

This section deals with the allotments of the land north of Jerusalem, as the land is divided by borders running east to west into parallel strips of unspecified width.Шаблон:Sfn The distribution is different from the earlier portions of the tribes of Israel, which were named after the sons of Jacob (Шаблон:Bibleverse also called "Israel") and his two grandsons, the sons of Joseph (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 1

Now these are the names of the tribes: From the northern border along the road to Hethlon at the entrance of Hamath, to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus northward, in the direction of Hamath, there shall be one section for Dan from its east to its west side.[7]

Hethlon has been identified as modern Heitela in Syria,[8] although theologian Tremper Longman claimed recently that its exact location is still unknown.[9]

The tribe of Joseph receives two portions, while the priestly tribe of Levi receives none, maintaining a total allotment of twelve.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorThe central strip (48:8–22)

This part gives more details on the piece of land described in Шаблон:Bibleverse, which consists of the sacred reserve, the city reserve and the prince's allotment.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorThe southern tribes (48:23–29)

The distribution of the land follows the style of verses 1–7 for the areas south of the central strip, with the tribe of Gad receiving the southernmost allotment, whereas formerly only the portions of the tribes of Judah and Simeon lay south of Jerusalem.Шаблон:Sfn The section has a proper conclusion in verse 29.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorThe new Jerusalem (48:30–35)

The last section of the book records the vision of the "structure like a city" seen by Ezekiel in Шаблон:Bibleverse.Шаблон:Sfn These verses apparently are added from a different source, focusing the city gates on each of the four sides, and each gate is named after a certain tribe (cf. Шаблон:Bibleversef) to complete 'a picture of perfect order and harmony'.Шаблон:Sfn This new city is different from the Jerusalem in history, because the gates of the post-exilic Jerusalem in Nehemiah time were carefully noted, yet none was named after the tribes (cf. Nehemiah 3), although in the pre-exilic period there were a Benjamin gate and an Ephraim gate (Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse), but both were on the north side, not the east side, of the city.Шаблон:Sfn Also, in the new city, Levi stands as one of the twelve tribes with its own gate, whereas Ephraim and Manasseh are represented by a single "Joseph" gate.Шаблон:Sfn The order of gate naming seems to have its own logic, with the children of Leah on the north (Judah, Levi and Ruben) and south sides (Simeon, Issachar and Zebulun), the children of Rachel on the east side (Joseph and Benjamin, together with Dan, the eldest son of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid) and the remaining children of the concubines (Gad, Asher and Naphtali) grouped together on the west.Шаблон:Sfn The arrangement recalls the order of tribal camps surrounding the tabernacle, three on each of the four sides (Шаблон:Bibleverse), that brings the clear idea of "diverse but united people organized around a sacred point of reference," that is "the divine presence in its midst".Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 35

"All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE."[10]
