Ezekiel 47:13-20
13This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: “TheseH1454 are the boundariesH1366 by whichH834 you are to divide the landH776 as an inheritanceH5157 among the twelveH8147H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478; JosephH3130 shall receive two portionsH2256.1 14You are to divideH5157 itH853 equallyH376 among themH251. BecauseH834 I swore with an upliftedH5375 handH3027 to giveH5414 it to your forefathersH1, thisH2063 landH776 will fallH5307 to you as an inheritanceH5159.
15ThisH2088 shall be the boundaryH1366 of the landH776:
16On the northH6828 sideH6285 it will extend fromH4480 the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 by wayH1870 of HethlonH2855 through Lebo-hamathH935 to ZedadH6657, BerothahH1268, and SibraimH54532 (whichH834 is onH996 the border betweenH1366 DamascusH1834H996 and HamathH2574), as far as Hazer-hatticonH2694, whichH834 is onH413 the borderH1366 of HauranH2362. 17So the borderH1366 will runH1961 fromH4480 the SeaH3220 to Hazar-enanH2703, along the northernH6828 borderH1366 of DamascusH1834, with the territoryH1366 of HamathH2574 to the northH6828. This will be the northernH6828 boundaryH6285. 18On the eastH6921 sideH6285 the borderH1366 will run betweenH996 HauranH2362 andH996 DamascusH1834, along the JordanH3383 betweenH996 GileadH1568H996 and the landH776 of IsraelH3478, toH5921 the EasternH6931 SeaH3220 andH853 as far as TamarH8559.3 This will be the easternH6921 boundaryH6285. 19On the southH5045H8486 sideH6285 it will run from TamarH8559 toH5704 the watersH4325 of Meribath-kadeshH4809H6946, and along the BrookH5158 of Egypt4 toH413 the GreatH1419 SeaH3220. This will be the southernH8486H5045 boundaryH6285. 20And on the westH3220 sideH6285, the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 will be the boundaryH1366 up toH5704 a point oppositeH5227 Lebo-hamathH935H2574. ThisH2063 will be the westernH3220 boundaryH6285.
