45:7 The prince — The king.
Our side — One half of the prince's portion lay on the west side of those three already set out.
The other side — The other half lay on the east-side thereof, so the portion of the city, Levites and priests, lay in the middle.
The holy portion — Of priests, and Levites, and sanctuary.
Before — It lay parallel as broad as these three were broad, and so run on both sides in its breadth from north to south, and had its length as the other, from east to west.
Over against — What is called now over-against, or by the side, is called before three times together. So now you have an exact square of twenty-five thousand cubits laid out for God, the Levites and city, which appears thus in the breadth. 10000 For the priests. 10000 For the Levites. 5000 For the city. And the length of each, twenty-five thousand, that is twelve miles and half square.
