Ezekiel 47:13-20

English Standard Version

Division of the Land

¹³ Thus says the Lord God: “This is the boundary^[a] by which ^(A)you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. ^(B)Joseph shall have two portions. ¹⁴ And you shall divide equally what ^(C)I swore ^(D)to give to your fathers. ^(E)This land shall fall to you as your inheritance.

¹⁵ “This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from ^(F)the Great Sea ^(G)by way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to ^(H)Zedad,^{[b] 16 (I)}Berothah, Sibraim (which lies on the border between ^(J)Damascus and ^(K)Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. ¹⁷ So the boundary shall run from the sea to ^(L)Hazar-enan, which is on the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north.^[c] This shall be the north side.^[d]

¹⁸ “On the east side, the boundary shall run between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between ^(M)Gilead and the land of Israel; to ^(N)the eastern sea and as far as Tamar.^[e] This shall be the east side.

¹⁹ “On the south side, it shall run from ^(O)Tamar as far as ^(P)the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along ^(Q)the Brook of Egypt^[f] to ^(R)the Great Sea. This shall be the south side.

²⁰ “On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point ^(S)opposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side.
