Ezekiel 48:22-24

The Message

^21-22 “The rest of this land, the country stretching east to the Jordan and west to the Mediterranean from the seven-mile sides of the ‘holy square,’ belongs to the prince. His land is sandwiched between the tribal portions north and south, and goes out both east and west from the ‘sacred square’ with its Temple at the center. The land set aside for the Levites on one side and the city on the other is in the middle of the territory assigned to the prince. The ‘sacred square’ is flanked east and west by the prince’s land and bordered on the north and south by the territories of Judah and Benjamin, respectively.

²³ “And then the rest of the tribes:

“Benjamin: one portion, stretching from the eastern to the western boundary.

²⁴ “Simeon: one portion, bordering Benjamin from east to west.
