New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 48
22 So the prince’s land will include everything between the territories allotted to Judah and Benjamin, except for the areas set aside for the sacred lands and the city.
23 “These are the territories allotted to the rest of the tribes. Benjamin’s territory lies just south of the prince’s lands, and it extends across the entire land of Israel from east to west.
24 South of Benjamin’s territory lies that of Simeon, also extending across the land from east to west.
25 Next is the territory of Issachar with the same eastern and western boundaries.
26 “Then comes the territory of Zebulun, which also extends across the land from east to west.
27 The territory of Gad is just south of Zebulun with the same borders to the east and west.
28 The southern border of Gad runs from Tamar to the waters of Meribah at Kadesh and then follows the Brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean.
29 “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 11/2 miles long,
31 there 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.
32 On the east wall, also 11/2 miles long, the gates will be named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
