What Does Ezekiel 48:19 Mean?
The city's population and workforce draw from all twelve tribes equally. This universal participation prevents any tribe from dominating the urban center or monopolizing its benefits. The restored nation integrates tribally, with every family represented in the city's life.
The principle of inclusive service reflects covenant unity. The city is not a regional capital favoring certain tribes but a national center supported by representatives from all Israel working together.
