Ezekiel 45:4

Read: An holy portion of the land is it, it shall be for, &c.

holy place for the sanctuary Lit. a sanctuary for the sanctuary. The use of "sanctuary" in the sense of sacred territory can hardly be supported by evidence, though the idea of a sacred territory around a sacred house or locality is a common one in the East. LXX. reads: a place for houses set apart for their sanctity, i.e. possibly: houses set apart for them (the priests), they being holy. No satisfactory emendation has been proposed.
