| Ezek. 47:5 |

| Ezek. 47:10 |
And fishermen will stand beside the sea from En-gedi even to En-eglaim; it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish shall be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many. |

But its swamps and its marshes will not be healed; they shall be left for salt. |
| Ezek. 47:12 |
And on the banks on both sides of the river will grow all [kinds] of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail; but they will bring forth new fruit every month, because the water for them flows out of the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food, and their leaves for healing. |
| Ezek. 47:13 |
Thus says the Lord Jehovah, This is the boundary by which you shall divide up the land as an inheritance for the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two portions. |

| Ezek. 47:15 |
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 Hamath, [and on] to Zedad; |
| Ezek. 47:16 |
Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the territory of Damascus and the territory of Hamath), [to] Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran. |
| Ezek. 47:17 |
Thus the border shall extend from the sea [to] Hazar-enan [on] the border of [the territory of ] Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the territory of Hamath. This is the north side. |
| Ezek. 47:18 |

| Ezek. 47:19 |
And the south side toward the south, [the] [border shall go] from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah-kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt, and] to the Great Sea. This is the south side toward the south. |
| Ezek. 47:20 |
And the west side [shall be] the Great Sea, from the [south] border to opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side. |
| Ezek. 47:21 |
So you shall apportion this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. |
| Ezek. 47:22 |
And you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the sojourners who sojourn among you, who bring forth sons among you. And they shall be to you just like the native among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. |
| Ezek. 47:23 |
And in whatever tribe the sojourner sojourns, you shall give [him] his inheritance there, declares the Lord Jehovah. |
