Ezekiel 47:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 47:20

The west side also shall be the great sea from the border
From the border of Egypt, and the river of it, to the Mediterranean sea, is the west side of the land, and the western border of it; hence the western point is often expressed in Scripture by the sea: till a man come over against Hamath;
Antioch in Syria; see ( Ezekiel 47:16 ) this is the west side;
of the land, and of the western border of it.

Ezekiel 47:20 In-Context

18 {And the eastern boundary} [will be] between Hauran and Damascus, and from between Gilead and the land of Israel [along] the Jordan [River] from [the] boundary on the eastern sea to Tamar. And {this is the border on the east}.

19 {And on the south side the border} [will run] from Tamar up to the waters [of] Meribot Kadesh [and along] the wadi to the Great Sea. And this [is] {the boundary to the south}.

20 {And on the west side} the Great Sea [shall be] the boundary up to opposite Lebo-Hamath. {This is the western boundary}.

21 You shall divide this land for yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

22 And then you shall allocate it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens dwelling as aliens in the midst of you who have children in the midst of you, and [so] they shall be to you [just] like full citizens among the {Israelites}. With you they shall be allotted with an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
