The first part of Chapter 45 deals with the division of the land among the tribes of Israel. But the division here is fundamentally different from that familiar to us, the one dating to the period when the land was originally settled. This new division apparently serves two different purposes. First, the placement of the Levite inheritance between the inheritance of the other tribes and the Temple is meant to prevent the Temple from being defiled. In addition, this new arrangement will prevent the office-bearers from being dependent, to some extent, on the people \u2013 a situation which in the past had led to the misuse of the leaders\u2019 power.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some significant discrepancies between the laws that Ezekiel sets down and the laws of the Torah, specifically in the area of sacrifices. It is difficult to characterize all the differences between the sacrifices set down in the Torah and those we encounter in Ezekiel\u2019s prophecy. However, the changes to the sacrifices listed in Ezekiel should be viewed as part of a broader totality of change, including a new order of leadership with the aim of preventing a repetition of the catastrophe of the departure of the Divine Presence and the subsequent destruction of the Temple.<\/span><\/p>\n

The changes extend from the Temple itself to Jerusalem and to the other parts of the country: the city becomes shared by all the tribes of Israel, and the land is divided among the tribes in an egalitarian manner. This redivision of the inheritances will help to reduce antagonism among the tribes, and perhaps help to prevent oppression and theft, since these, too, were among the reasons for God\u2019s departure from the Temple in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n
