What does Ezekiel 48:14 mean?

In Ezekiel's vision of restored Jerusalem, this verse describes land set apart for the priests as permanently sacred and untouchable. The land isn't meant to be bought, sold, or traded away like ordinary property, because it belongs to God in a special way. By keeping it holy and unmovable, the vision preserves a space that is exclusively dedicated to serving God and supporting those who work in his temple. It's a poetic way of saying that some things in life aren't measured by their market value or our personal profit, but by their spiritual purpose.
