SEV Biblia, Chapter 48:15
Y las cinco mil cañas de anchura que quedan de las veinticinco mil, serán profanas, para la ciudad, para habitación y para ejido; y la ciudad estará en medio.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 48:15
Verse 15. And the five thousand that are left] The territory of the Levites was twenty-five thousand square cubits, ver. 20, But their city was only four thousand five hundred square cubits, see ver. 13 and 16; there remained, therefore, ten thousand cubits square to be divided, of which five thousand cubits in breadth, by twenty-five thousand in length, on the east and west sides, were reserved for a sort of second city; or for suburbs where laymen might dwell who were employed by those priests and Levites who lodged in the temple and in the city, ver. 18. And another space of one thousand cubits in breadth, by twenty-five thousand in length, which extended only from north to south, was for fields and gardens appointed for the support of those lay servants. On which we may remark, there was no cultivated land between the portion of the Levites and that of the prince, but only on the east and west sides. See chap. xlv. 6, and the map FF.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Here is a description of the several portions of the land belonging to each tribe. In gospel times, behold all things are become new. Much i wrapped up in emblems and numbers. This method God has used to stat mysterious truths in his word, not to be more clearly revealed till the proper time and season. But into the church of Christ, both in it state of warfare and triumph, there is free access by faith, from ever side. Christ has opened the kingdom of heaven for all believers Whoever will, may come, and take of the water of life, of the tree of life, freely. The Lord is there, in his church, to be nigh unto them in all they call upon him for. This is true of every real Christian whatever soul has in it a living principle of grace, it may truly be said, The Lord is there. May we be found citizens of this holy city and act agreeably to that character; and have the benefit of the Lord' presence with us, in life, in death, and for evermore __________________________________________________________________
