Ezekiel 47:13-23
Legacy Standard Bible

Apportionment of the Land

13 Thus says Lord Yahweh, “This shall be the (A)boundary by which you shall apportion the land for an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two (B)portions. 14 You shall then apportion it for an inheritance, each one [a]equally with the other; for I [b](C)swore to give it to your fathers, and this land shall fall to you [c]as an inheritance.

15 “This shall be the boundary of the land: on the (D)north side, from the Great Sea by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of [d](E)Zedad; 16 [e](F)Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of (G)Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. 17 And the boundary shall be from the sea to (H)Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

18 “And the (I)east side, from between Hauran, Damascus, (J)Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the (K)Jordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

19 “And the (L)south side toward the south shall extend from (M)Tamar as far as the waters of (N)Meribath-kadesh, to the (O)brook of Egypt and to the (P)Great Sea. This is the south side toward the south.

20 “And the (Q)west side shall be the Great Sea, from the south border to a point opposite [f](R)Lebo-hamath. This is the west side.

21 “So you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 And it will be that you shall divide it by (S)lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the (T)sojourners who sojourn in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel. They shall be allotted an (U)inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it will be that in the tribe with which the sojourner sojourns, there you shall give him his inheritance,” declares Lord Yahweh.

Ezekiel 47:13-23
Common English Bible

13 The Lord God proclaims: These[a] are the boundaries of the portions of land that will be distributed as an inheritance to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph will receive two portions. 14 What I swore to give to your ancestors, you will distribute as an inheritance equally. This land is given to you as an inheritance. 15 This is the boundary of the land. The northern limit begins at the Mediterranean Sea and goes in the direction of Hethlon toward Lebo-hamath, Zedad,[b] 16 Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the boundary of Damascus and the boundary of Hamath), and Hazer-hatticon (that is on the boundary of Hauran). 17 So the boundary from the Mediterranean Sea[c] to Hazar-enon will run north of the boundary of Damascus, with the boundary of Hamath to the north. This is the northern limit. 18 For the eastern limit, you will measure continuously between Hauran and Damascus and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan River as far as the Dead Sea.[d] This is the eastern limit. 19 The southern limit runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh and from there along the border[e] of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern limit. 20 For the western limit, the Mediterranean Sea is the boundary up to Lebo-hamath. This is the western limit. 21 You will apportion this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 When you distribute the land as an inheritance, the immigrants who reside with you and raise families among you are considered full citizens along with the Israelites. They will receive an inheritance along with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 You will assign the immigrants’ inheritance with the tribe with whom they reside. This is what the Lord God says.
