Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 48:14

"And they shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first-fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy unto Jehovah." — Ezekiel 48:14 (ASV)

Shall not sell of it.— The Levites’ portion (Ezekiel 48:13) was of the same size as that of the priests; this contrasted with their situation under the law, where they had nearly three times as many cities. Furthermore, the restriction from Leviticus 25:34, that they might not even temporarily alienate the fields attached to their cities, is here extended to their whole land on the express ground that it is “first-fruits.”
