  1. Distributive justice.<\/em> Redistributing tribal allotments as portions across the width of the country gives each tribe more or less the same sample of geographical variety: coastline, low country, hill and valley. And each thus receives the same agricultural potential.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A certain hierarchy persists.<\/em> Much of the old order has been cancelled with the new apportionment. But some things have remained. In the new arrangement, the tribes nearest the center are descendents of the children of Rachel and Leah, and those with allotments in the periphery are those of the handmaidens.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. A new capital for all<\/em>. The city is ex-territorial. It\u2019s not in any of the tribal lands. And apparently people from \u201call the tribles of Israel\u201d will work and live there (verse 19). Even the names of the gates express the fact that it belongs to all.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The father of a country?<\/em>\u00a0Ezekiel, the prophet of the Exile, accompanied his generation with his silence, his actions and his words, in a period of great sorrow and strife. In the concluding chapters of his book he left the future generations a vision of the ideal state. It\u2019s a detailed and very strict master plan. It is an organizational model through which holiness can be established in Israel. There\u2019s a clear hierarchy regarding the holy, and a strong desire for equality in everything else. It grants powers to the Temple, and limits those of the rulers. What of Ezekiel\u2019s vision, if anything, will accompany those who will eventually return to Zion? When we get to the prophets Haggai and Zechariah (in two and a half months time), and later to Ezra and Nehemiah (that will be in a year and three months\u2026) – we\u2019ll know more.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Chazak<\/em>! Be strong, be strong, and be strengthened. Thus ends the book of the prophecies of Ezekiel. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
