Ezekiel 47:13–21

THE BORDERS OF THE LAND

13 This is what the Lord God says: “This isC the border you will use to divide the landd as an inheritance for the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph will receive two shares.e 14 You will inherit it in equal portions, since I sworeD to give it to your ancestors.f So this land will fall to you as an inheritance.

15 This is to be the border of the land:

On the north sideg it will extend from the Mediterranean Sea by way of Hethlon and Lebo-hamath to Zedad,* 16 Berothah, and Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 So the border will run from the sea to Hazar-enon at the borderh of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern side.

18 On the east side it will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel; you will measure from the northern border to the eastern sea.F This will be the eastern side.

19 On the south side it will run from Tamar to the Waters of Meribath-kadesh,G and on to the Brook of Egypti as far as the Mediterranean Sea.j This will be the southern side.

20 On the west side the Mediterranean Sea will be the border, from the southern border up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This will be the western side.

21 “You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.k
