Ezekiel 47:13-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. Thus said the Master יהוה, “This is the border by which you inherit the land, according to the twelve tribes of Yisra’ĕl, two portions for Yosĕph.

14. “And you shall inherit it, each one the same as his brother. For I lifted My hand in an oath to give it to your fathers, and this land shall fall to you as your inheritance.

15. “And this is the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea, the way of Ḥethlon, as one goes to Tseḏaḏ,

16. “Ḥamath, Bĕrothah, Siḇrayim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Ḥamath, Ḥatsar Hattiḵon, which is on the border of Ḥawran.

17. “And the border shall be from the Sea to Ḥatsar Ěnan, the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of Ḥamath. This is the north side.

18. “And the east side is from between Ḥawran, and Damascus, and Gil‛aḏ, and the land of Yisra’ĕl; the Yardĕn, from the border to the eastern side of the sea you are to measure. This is the east side.

19. “And the south side toward the South is from Tamar to the waters of Meriḇah by Qaḏĕsh, along the Wadi to the Great Sea. This is the south side toward the South.

20. “And the west side is the Great Sea, from the border to the point opposite Ḥamath. This is the west side.

21. “And you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Yisra’ĕl.

22. “And it shall be that you divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who sojourn in your midst and who bear children among you. And they shall be to you as native-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl – with you they have an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Yisra’ĕl.
