Boundaries for the Land

47:13 This is what the sovereign Lord says: “Here¹⁰ are the borders¹¹ you will observe as you allot the land to the twelve tribes of Israel. (Joseph will have two portions.)¹²

¹tn Or “earth.” Elsewhere the expression “four corners of the earth” figuratively refers to the whole earth (Isa 11:12).

²tn The Hebrew second person pronoun is masculine plural here and in vv. 19b-21, indicating that the people are being addressed.

³map For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; JP1-F4; JP2-F4; JP3-F4; JP4-F4.

⁴tn Heb “I will cut off from you.”

⁵tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8.

⁶tn The Hebrew text is framed as a rhetorical question: “will you not take notice?”

⁷tn Heb “against.”

⁸tn Heb “him”; the referent (Gog, cf. v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁹tn Heb “chariots.”

¹⁰tc This translation follows the reading זֶה (zeh) instead of גֵּה (geh), a nonexistent word, as supported by the LXX.

¹¹tn Or “territory”; see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:715.

¹²tc The grammar is awkward, though the presence of these words is supported by the versions. L. C. Allen (Ezekiel [WBC], 2:274) suggests that it is an explanatory gloss.

sn One portion for Ephraim, the other for Manasseh (Gen 48:17-20).
