This site's exposition

special portion you set apart to the LORD

on Ezekiel 48:9-12

The priests receive the innermost strip, with “the sanctuary of the LORD” at its center. It is for “the descendants of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray”. The wording repeats the standard chapter 44 already set.
