Ezekiel 48:26

Study note

Setting — The prophet Ezekiel delivers a vision of the future divided land to the exiled house of Israel, detailing the exact allocation of tribal territories. The words — גְּב֣וּל (ge.vul) means "border," and קָדִ֛ימָ/ה (ka.di.ma/h) means "eastward," establishing the directional limits of the allotment. The thread — The verse maps Zebulun's inheritance between Issachar and Gad, echoing the historical boundary in Joshua 19:10 and the tribal lineage recorded in Genesis 30:19. Why it lands — The text requires the reader to observe the deliberate, measured placement of each tribe, demanding attention to the precise order of the restored land distribution.
