Ezekiel 47:13This is what the Sovereign Lord says: These are the boundaries by which you are to divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel, with two portions for Joseph.Ezekiel 47:14You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your ancestors, this land will become your inheritance.Ezekiel 47:15This is to be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the Great Sea by the Hethlon road past Lebo-Hamath to Zedad,Ezekiel 47:16Hamath, Berothah and Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath)—as far as Hazar-Hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.Ezekiel 47:17The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar-Enon, on the border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the north boundary.Ezekiel 47:18On the east side, the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Eastern Sea and as far as Tamar. This will be the east boundary.Ezekiel 47:19On the south side, it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the south boundary.Ezekiel 47:20On the west side, the Great Sea will be the boundary as far north as the entry to Hamath. This will be the west boundary.Ezekiel 47:21“You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.Ezekiel 47:22You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners residing among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; they are to be allotted an inheritance along with you in the tribes of Israel.Ezekiel 47:23In whatever tribe a foreigner resides, there you are to give them their inheritance,” declares the Sovereign Lord.
