Context — The Prince’s Portion
5An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.
6As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.
7Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the tribal portions.
8This land will be his possession in Israel. And My princes will no longer oppress My people, but will give the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes. 9For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’Cross References

Ezekiel 45:7 Summary
Ezekiel 45:7 talks about the prince's area, which is a special region that belongs to the prince and is located next to the holy district and the city. This area is important because it shows how the prince is supposed to be a good leader and take care of the people, as seen in Ezekiel 45:8-9 and Jeremiah 22:1-5. The prince's area also reminds us that God cares about fairness and justice, and wants us to live in a way that honors Him, as seen in Leviticus 25:23 and Proverbs 29:4. By looking at the prince's area, we can learn about the importance of being good stewards of what God has given us and living in a way that pleases Him, as seen in Matthew 25:14-30 and 1 Corinthians 4:2.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the prince's area in Ezekiel 45:7?

How does the prince's area relate to the tribal portions in Ezekiel 45:7?
The prince's area runs parallel to one of the tribal portions, indicating that the prince's territory is integrated with the larger division of the land among the tribes of Israel, as described in Ezekiel 47:13-48:35 and Ezekiel 48:1-7.

The purpose of the prince's area is to provide a possession for the prince in Israel, as stated in Ezekiel 45:8, and to ensure that the prince does not oppress the people, but instead gives the rest of the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes, as seen in Ezekiel 45:8-9 and Ezekiel 46:16-18.
How does Ezekiel 45:7 relate to the concept of justice and righteousness in the Bible?
Ezekiel 45:7 relates to the concept of justice and righteousness because it emphasizes the importance of fairness and equality in the distribution of land, as seen in Leviticus 25:23 and Numbers 26:52-56, and highlights the need for leaders to do what is just and right, as stated in Ezekiel 45:9 and Proverbs 29:4.

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 45:7
And a portion shall be for the prince,.... Meaning not the civil magistrate; though he ought to be supported in his dignity and authority, and in such manner that he may be under no temptation to
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 45:7
And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:7
A portion; though not said how much, it is likely it was near fourfold to that of the city, sanctuary, or the priests and Levites. For the prince; the king, or supreme ruler. One half of the prince’ s portion lay on the west side of those three already set out; the other half lay on the east side thereof; so the portion of city, Levites, and priests lay in the middle of it. Of 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, as in this diagram. The tribe of Judah’ s portion from west to east. The tribe of Benjamin’ s portion from west to east. Over against; what called now over against, or parallel, or by the side all along, is called before three times together. So now you have an exact square of 25,000 cubits laid out for God, the Levites, and city, which appears thus in the breadth: 10,000 for the priests. 10,000 for the Levites. 5,000 for the city. And the length of each 25,000, that is, some twelve miles and half square.
And the prince’ s portion embracing or bounding all at each end, as a guard and defence both of church and state, of religion and the civil rights, which may fairly be intimated by this assigning him his portion on each end of the other three.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:7
Ezekiel 45:7 And a [portion shall be] for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy [portion], and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy [portion], and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length [shall be] over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.Ver. 7. And a portion shall be for the prince.] See on Ezekiel 44:3. Understand it of the civil magistrate, who is lord keeper of both tables of the law, and ought to have a special care of the Church’ s welfare. Here his portion is said to lie on both sides of the oblation of the holy portion; and magistrates are required to hem ministers in with boards of cedar, i.e., to provide for their security, that they may be "without fear among them," as Timothy.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:7
(7) For the prince.—The portion here assigned to the prince included all the land between the northern and southern bounding lines of the “oblation” continued to the Jordan on the east, and the Mediterranean on the west, not already included within the “oblation” itself. Two pieces of land are thus given to him, separated from each other by the whole width (47⅓ ? miles) of the “oblation.” (See the map under Ezekiel 48) From the west side westward.—The prince’s position is to adjoin the “oblation” in its entire width of 25,000 reeds, stretching westward from its western side, and eastward from its eastern side. The length.—Throughout the measurements of the land, length is from east to west; breadth from north to south. The east and west measurement of the prince’s portion was to be “over against “—i.e., parallel to—one of the portions of the tribes.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:7
Verse 7. A portion shall be for the prince] נשיא nasi, he who had the authority of chief magistrate; for there was neither king nor prince among the Jews after the Babylonish captivity. For these allotments and divisions, see the plan, EE, FF, GG. See Clarke on Ezekiel 48:35.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 45:7
7. The domain of the prince. A portion of land shall fall to the prince equal in breadth (N. to S.) to the whole square assigned to the priests, Levites and city (viz. 25,000), and extending on both sides of this square to the borders of the country, to the Jordan on the E., and the sea on the W. and the length … portions] and in length answerable to one of the portions, as R.V. The “portions” here are the tracts of land assigned to the tribes respectively (ch. 48). These stretched across the country from the Jordan to the sea. The portion of the prince in like manner stretches across the whole country, only it is interrupted in the middle by the 25,000 square tract assigned to priests, Levites and city. Cf. Ezekiel 48:21.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 45:7
On either side of the 25,000 reeds a strip of land, running westward to the sea, eastward to the Jordan, formed the possession of the prince (see Ezekiel 46:18 note).
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 45:7
1-8. Having given directions as to what the temple ministers should eat, the prophet now specifically states what portion of land shall be theirs, and also what portions shall be for the prince and the city (Ezekiel 45:7).
