Contextual Overview

13 "Adonai Elohim says this: ‘These are the borders of the land you are to distribute for inheritance by the twelve tribes of Isra'el, with Yosef receiving two portions. 14 For inheritance you will each have equal shares. I swore to your ancestors that I would give them this land, and now it falls to you to inherit it. 15 "‘The borders of the land will be as follows: on the north, from the Great Sea through Hetlon to the entrance of Tz'dad, 16 Hamat, Berotah, Sibrayim (which is between the border of Dammesek and the border of Hamat), Hatzer-Hatikhon (which is toward the border of Havran). 17 The border from the sea will be Hatzar-‘Einon (at the border of Dammesek); while on the north, northward, is the border of Hamat. This is the north side. 18 "‘On the east side, measure between Havran and Dammesek, Gil‘ad and the land of Isra'el by the Yarden, from the border to the eastern sea. This is the east side. 19 "‘On the side of the Negev toward the south it will be from Tamar as far as the waters of M'rivot-Kadesh, then to the Vadi [of Egypt] and on to the Great Sea. This is the south side toward the Negev. 20 "‘The west side will be the Great Sea, as far as across from the entrance to Hamat. This is the west side. 21 "‘This is the territory you are to divide among the tribes of Isra'el. 22 You are to divide it by lot as an inheritance both to you and to the foreigners living among you who give birth to children living among you; for you they are to be no different from the native-born among the people of Isra'el — they are to have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Isra'el.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the east side ye shall measure Hauran,.... The line of the eastern border of the land shall begin at Hauran or Auranitis; see

Ezekiel 47:16, which lay to the south s of Damascus: and it follows,

and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea; and so from Damascus, the metropolis of Syria; and likewise from Gilead, a mountain and country beyond Jordan; and also from that part of the land of Israel near to Jordan; and so from the northern border to the east sea, or sea of Galilee or Tiberias:

and this is the east side: of the land, or the eastern border of it, reaching from Hauran to the lake of Gennesaret, or to the Salt sea, the sea of Sodom; see Numbers 34:10.

s Vid. Reland Palestina Illustrata, l. 1. c. 22. p. 107.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The eastern boundary is to commence by separating off the territory of Damascus and Hauran, and then to follow the line of the Jordan to the Dead Sea. Further, the land occupied by the trans-Jordanic tribes was also to be separated off from the land of Israel. The trans-Jordanic tribes in fact occupied their ground (in Joshua’s allotment) by sufferance. This did not belong to Canaan proper, the land of promise. Hence, the tribes, formerly on the east of the Jordan, have here allotments in Canaan, though “the oblation” Ezekiel 45:1 extends to a considerable distance beyond the Jordan (see Plan, Ezekiel 48:0). The whole arrangement being ideal and symbolic, the vision here, as in the case of “the waters” (Ezekiel 47:1 note), departs from the physical features of the land for the purpose of maintaining symbolic numbers.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 47:18. The east sea — The same as the Dead Sea.
