Ezekiel 47:13-23
Ezekiel 47:13-23 TPT
Lord YAHWEH says: “Behold, here are the territorial boundaries for your distribution of land among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall receive a double portion. You will each have a fair share of it since I swore to your ancestors that I would give it to them. So now, this land will belong to you as family property. “These will be the borders of the land. The northern border starts at the Mediterranean Sea and stretches east along the road to the town of Hethlon, through Hamath Pass, to the town of Zedad, and then on to the towns of Berothah and Sibraim. These two towns are on the border between Damascus and Hamath. It will extend as far as Hazer-ha-Tikon, which is on the border of the region of Hauran. So, your northern frontier will extend from the sea to Hazer-Enon, which is north of Damascus and the border of Hamath on the north. “The Jordan River will serve as your eastern border between Hauran and Damascus, between Gilead and Israel, down to the Dead Sea as far south as Tamar. “Your southern border stretches west from Tamar southward to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, following the dry riverbed to the Mediterranean Sea; that will be your southern border. And your western boundary will follow the coast of the Mediterranean Sea from the southern border north to the point opposite Hamath Pass; that will be the western frontier. “Divide this land among the tribes of Israel. You must distribute it as an inheritance for yourselves and the resident aliens who live among you, who have their children among you, since you must treat them as citizens of Israel. They must receive a share of the land for their inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the resident alien resides, that is where you will assign his share. I, Lord YAHWEH, have spoken.”
