Ezekiel 47:21 In-Context

19 On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and on to the Brook [of Egypt] as far as the Mediterranean Sea. This will be the southern side.
20 On the west side the Mediterranean Sea will be the border, from the [southern] border up to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This will be the western side.
21 "You are to divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22 You will allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners living among you, who have fathered children among you. You will treat them like native-born Israelites; along with you, they will be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.
23 In whatever tribe the foreigner lives, you will assign his inheritance there." [This is] the declaration of the Lord God .
