Ezekiel 47:13–21

THE BORDERS OF THE LAND

¹³This is what the Lord God says: “This is^C the border you will use to divide the land^d 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 swore^D to give it to your ancestors.^f So this land will fall to you as an inheritance.

¹⁵This is to be the border of the land:

On the north side^g it will extend from the Mediterranean Sea by way of Hethlon and Lebo-hamath to Zedad, ¹⁶Berothah, 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. ¹⁷So the border will run from the sea to Hazar-enon at the border^h of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern side.

¹⁸On 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.

¹⁹On 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.

²⁰On 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
