Ezekiel 48: Who are the districts being established for?

Answers

Ezekiel 46: The worshipers would not return the way they came in. The kitchens were in the court corners.

Ezekiel 47: The leaves would be used for healing. Compare this to the last chapter of the last book of the Bible:  “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb ² down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.”

Ezekiel 48: The districts were established for the seven tribes, the Lord, the Levites the princes and for all in Jerusalem.
