Ezekiel 47:12-14
New English Translation
12 On both sides of the river’s banks, every kind of tree will grow for food. Their leaves will not wither nor will their fruit fail, but they will bear fruit every month, because their water source flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.”[a]
Boundaries for the Land
13 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Here[b] are the borders[c] you will observe as you allot the land to the twelve tribes of Israel. (Joseph will have two portions.)[d] 14 You must divide it equally just as I vowed to give it to your forefathers;[e] this land will be assigned as your inheritance.[f]
