Ezekiel 47:13-20

13This is what the sovereign Lord says: “Here are the borders you will observe as you allot the land to the twelve tribes of Israel. (Joseph will have two portions.)

14You must divide it equally just as I vowed to give it to your forefathers; this land will be assigned as your inheritance.

15“This will be the border of the land: On the north side, from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon to the entrance of Zedad;

16Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath, as far as Hazer-hattikon, which is on the border of Hauran.

17The border will run from the sea to Hazar-enan, at the border of Damascus, and on the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

18On the east side, between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel, will be the Jordan. You will measure from the border to the eastern sea. This is the east side.

19On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, the river, to the Great Sea. This is the south side.

20On the west side the Great Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This is the west side.
