Ezekiel 45:7

Persian Dari Bible - Afgan Dialect - Version Good News for a New Age (GNN) == 2007

این دو قطعه زمین سهم حکمران کشور است. به این ترتیب او دیگر بر قوم ظلم نمی کند و بقیۀ زمین را به قبایل اسرائیل می دهد.

What Does This Mean?

This verse describes how land is divided for a prince, showing a portion on both sides of a holy area and a city. The land stretches from west to east, emphasizing the prince's broad territory. Ezekiel is speaking to describe the new city layout.

Explained for Children

Imagine you have a big playground. In the middle is a special area for games and a smaller area for a picnic. On both sides of these areas, there's space for a friend to play. This is like the prince’s land, with special spots and his own space to play.

Historical Background

Ezekiel wrote this around 593-571 BCE, while in exile in Babylon. He was speaking to the Israelites about the future restoration of their land and city, showing them how it would be organized.

Living It Out Today

Today, this can remind us of the importance of planning and organization. Just like the prince had a well-defined area, we can organize our spaces and lives to have a clear purpose and structure.
