Ezekiel 47:13-23

The Boundaries of the Land

This passage may be compared with Numbers 34:1. The N. border started from a point on the Mediterranean, and ran eastward by Hamath and other places to Hazar-enon, between Damascus and the Hauran. The E. border ran southward from here, between Gilead and the land of Israel, and followed the Jordan, ending at Tamar, S. of the Dead Sea. From Tamar the S. border ran by Meriboth-kadesh to the brook of Egypt at the SE. corner of the Mediterranean. The W. border is formed by the Mediterranean (Ezekiel 47:13). Strangers born in the land were to share it with the Israelites (Ezekiel 47:22).
