Ezekiel 48 is the forty-eighth (and the last) chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [1] [2] This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet/priest Ezekiel, [3] and is one of the Books of the Prophets. [4] Chapters 40-48 give the ideal picture of a new temple.
