Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 48:19

"And they that labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it." — Ezekiel 48:19 (ASV)

Out of all the tribes of Israel.— The city itself is no longer, as formerly, to belong to any particular tribe, but is to be situated on the common sacred portion, and its laborers are to be taken equally from all the tribes. Thus the old jealousies are to be extinguished, and in this, as in all other respects, each tribe is to be treated like every other.
