Context of Ezekiel 48:29

27The territory of Gad is just south of Zebulun with the same borders to the east and west. 28The southern border of Gad runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribah at Kadesh and then follows the Brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean. “These are the allotments that will be set aside for each tribe’s exclusive possession. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken! 30“These will be the exits to the city: On the north wall, which is 1-1/2 miles long, 31there will be three gates, each one named after a tribe of Israel. The first will be named for Reuben, the second for Judah, and the third for Levi.
