Ezekiel 48:17

The people who lived in the city would own animals. Those animals could feed (find their food) on this land. And because this land was near the city, the people could look after the animals well. That is how a good person should behave (Proverbs 12:10).

When people travelled to the *temple to *worship God, they would often bring animals to give as *sacrifices. This land would be useful for them.
