New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 47
23 These foreigners are to be given land within the territory of the tribe with whom they now live. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!
Ezekiel 48
1 “Here is the list of the tribes of Israel and the territory each is to receive. The territory of Dan is in the extreme north. Its boundary line follows the Hethlon road to Lebo-hamath and then runs on to Hazar-enan on the border of Damascus, with Hamath to the north. Dan’s territory extends all the way across the land of Israel from east to west.
2 “Asher’s territory lies south of Dan’s and also extends from east to west.
3 Naphtali’s land lies south of Asher’s, also extending from east to west.
4 Then comes Manasseh south of Naphtali, and its territory also extends from east to west.
5 South of Manasseh is Ephraim,
6 and then Reuben,
7 and then Judah, all of whose boundaries extend from east to west.
8 “South of Judah is the land set aside for a special purpose. It will be 81/3 miles wide and will extend as far east and west as the tribal territories, with the Temple at the center.
9 “The area set aside for the LORD’s Temple will be 81/3 miles long and 62/3 miles wide.
10 For the priests there will be a strip of land measuring 81/3 miles long by 31/3 miles wide, with the LORD’s Temple at the center.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
