Clarke's Ezekiel 45:5 Bible Commentary
And the five and twenty thousand - See the plan, B.
Barnes's Ezekiel 45:5 Bible Commentary
For a possession for twenty chambers - literally, "For a possession twenty chambers," possibly twenty out of the thirty chambers in the outer court Ezekiel 40:17, and assigned for their use during residence in the sanctuary. The Septuagint reads "for cities to dwell in" (compare Numbers 35:2) which some adopt here.
