So, in Ezekiel 5:5, Israel is said to be set "in the midst of the nations"; not physically, but morally, a central position for being a blessing to the world: so (as the favored or "beloved city," Revelation 20:9) an object of envy. GROTIUS translates, "In the height of the land" (so Ezekiel 38:8), "the mountains of Israel," Israel being morally elevated above the rest of the world.
