Pemikiran Yahudi Yehezkiel 45:5: The Third Beit HaMikdash

וַחֲמִשָּׁ֨ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֥ים אֶ֙לֶף֙ אֹ֔רֶךְ וַעֲשֶׂ֥רֶת אֲלָפִ֖ים רֹ֑חַב יהיה [וְֽהָיָ֡ה] לַלְוִיִּם֩ מְשָׁרְתֵ֨י הַבַּ֧יִת לָהֶ֛ם לַאֲחֻזָּ֖ה עֶשְׂרִ֥ים לְשָׁכֹֽת׃

Lalu bagian yang panjangnya dua puluh lima ribu dan lebarnya sepuluh ribu akan menjadi milik orang-orang Lewi, para pelayan Bait itu, sebagai tanah milik mereka, untuk dua puluh bilik.

The Third Beit HaMikdash

“[An area] 25,000 [measuring rods] long and 10,000 wide was granted to the Levites, the servants of the House, as a heritage; it had twenty chambers.”3Ibid. 45:5. Radak interprets the words, “it had twenty chambers,” as meaning that the Levites should make twenty chambers in their portion close to the portion of the kohanim. According to Radak, these chambers would serve as dwellings for the gatekeepers of the Beis HaMikdash, so that they will be close to the Beis HaMikdash. The Levites will use remainder of the area for their needs and private homes. Rav Yitzchak Abarbanel and Rashi also interpret the verse in that manner.
