Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 47:13

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

13. The redivision of the land: the boundaries. The latter are substantially the same as those given by Moses in :- ; they here begin with the north, but in Numbers they begin with the south ( Numbers 34:3 ). It is only Canaan proper, exclusive of the possession of the two and a half tribes beyond Jordan, that is here divided. Joseph . . . two portions —according to the original promise of Jacob ( Genesis 48:5 ; Genesis 48:22 ). Joseph's sons were given the birthright forfeited by Reuben, the first-born ( Genesis 48:22- : ). Therefore the former is here put first. His two sons having distinct portions make up the whole number twelve portions, as he had just before specified " twelve tribes of Israel"; for Levi had no separate inheritance, so that he is not reckoned in the twelve. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-15" class="com-number"
