11. But the miry places of it, and its marshes, will not be healed. They will be given up to salt.
12. By the river on its bank, on this side and on that side, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won’t wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”
13. Thus says the Lord GOD: “This shall be the border, by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.
14. You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to you for inheritance.
15. “This shall be the border of the land:“On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;
16. Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
17. The border from the sea, shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
18. “The east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and Eretz-Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.
19. “The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. This is the south side southward.
20. “The west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
21. “So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22. It will happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live amongst you, who will father children amongst you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born amongst the children of Israel. They shall have inheritance with you amongst the tribes of Israel.
23. It shall happen, that in whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord GOD.
