Israel;s Land
Boundaries for land God gave
Ezekiel
47:13-20 (New Living Translation)
13 This is what the Sovereign
Lord says: “Divide the land in
this way for the twelve tribes of Israel : The descendants of
Joseph will be given two shares of land.[a] 14 Otherwise each tribe will
receive an equal share. I took a solemn oath and swore that I would give this
land to your ancestors, and it will now come to you as your possession.15 “These are the boundaries of the land: The northern border will run from
the Mediterranean toward Hethlon, then on through Lebo-hamath to Zedad; 16 then it will run to Berothah and
Sibraim, which are on the border between Damascus and Hamath, and finally to
Hazer-hatticon, on the border of Hauran. 17 So the northern border will run from
the Mediterranean to Hazar-enan, on the border between Hamath to the north and Damascus to the south.
18 “The eastern
border starts at a point between Hauran and Damascus and runs south along the
Jordan River between Israel and Gilead, past the Dead Sea[b] and
as far south as Tamar.[c] This
will be the eastern border.
19 “The southern
border will go west from Tamar to the waters of Meribah at Kadesh[d] and
then follow the course of the Brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean. This will be
the southern border.
20 “On the west
side, the Mediterranean itself will be your border from the southern border to the point where
the northern border begins, opposite Lebo-hamath.
