Context of Ezekiel 47:13

11But its marshes and its pools shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt. 12And by the river, upon its bank, on the one side and on the other, shall grow all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, nor their fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, for its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13-23The final section of the book of Ezekiel describes the boundaries of the land and how it will be divided among the tribes. In this section, theology (teaching about God) is shown through geography (the arrangement of the land). The way the land is organized has meaning.

Where a tribe lives, and how close it is to the temple, shows something about order and holiness…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1313. The redivision of the land: the boundaries.
