The LORD’s word on the border of the land to be divided for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel
이스라엘 십 이 지파에게 기업으로 나눌 땅의 지계에 관한 여호와의 말씀
Ezekiel 47:13–23: the Lord GOD says: “This shall be the border by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions. You shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers. This land will fall to you for inheritance. This shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad; Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazer Hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. The border from the sea shall be Hazar Enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side. The east side, between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side. The south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, to the brook, to the great sea. This is the south side southward. The west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side. So you shall divide this land to yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the aliens who live among you, who will father children among you. Then they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of Israel. They shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the stranger lives, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord GOD. Both editions give the north side, the east side, the south side and the west side in turn. The Korean Revised Version writes 하셀핫디곤 at 47:16, 하살에논 at 47:17 and 므리봇 가데스 at 47:19, where WEB writes “Hazer Hatticon”, “Hazar Enon” and “Meriboth Kadesh”; at 47:19 it reads 애굽 시내를 따라 (along the brook of Egypt), where WEB reads “to the brook” and gives the brook no name. At 47:16 it names the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath before Sibraim, and the border of Hauran before Hazer Hatticon (다메섹 지계와 하맛 지계 사이에 있는 시브라임과 하우란 지계 곁에 있는 하셀핫디곤), where WEB names Sibraim and Hazer Hatticon first. At 47:14 it gives the oath first (내가 옛적에 맹세하여 이 땅으로 너희 열조에게 주마 하였었나니, I swore of old to give this land to your fathers), where WEB gives “You shall inherit it, one as well as another” first. It reads 외인 (foreigners) at 47:22–23, where WEB reads “the aliens” and “the stranger”.
