Ezekiel 47:13-21

Division of the Land

13Thus says the Lord God: “This is the boundary
Probable reading; Hebrew The valley of the boundary
by which byou shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. cJoseph shall have two portions.
14And you shall divide equally what dI swore eto give to your fathers. fThis land shall fall to you as your inheritance.

15This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from gthe Great Sea hby way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to iZedad,
Septuagint; Hebrew the entrance of Zedad, Hamath
16 kBerothah, Sibraim (which lies on the border between lDamascus and mHamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17So the boundary shall run from the sea to nHazar-enan, which is on the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north.
The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
This shall be the north side.
Probable reading; Hebrew and as for the north side


18“On the east side, the boundary shall run between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between qGilead and the land of Israel; to rthe eastern sea and as far as Tamar.
Compare Syriac; Hebrew  to the eastern sea you shall measure
This shall be the east side.

19“On the south side, it shall run from tTamar as far as uthe waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along vthe Brook of Egypt
Hebrew lacks  of Egypt
to xthe Great Sea. This shall be the south side.

20“On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point yopposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side.

21 z“So you shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel.
