Ezekiel 47:21 In-Context

19 Forsooth the south coast of midday is from Tamar till to the waters of against-saying of Kadesh; and the strand till to the great sea, and the south coast of midday. (And the south side is southward from Tamar unto the waters of strife at Kadesh/unto the waters of Meribah-by-Kadesh; and along the river, unto the Great Sea; this is the south side toward the Negeb.)
20 And the coast of the sea is the great sea, from the nigh coast by [the] straight, till thou come to Hamath; this is the coast of the sea. (And the west side is the Great Sea, straight north along the coast, until thou come to Hamath; this is the west side.)
21 And ye shall part this land to you by the lineages of Israel; (And ye shall divide this land unto the tribes of Israel;)
22 and ye shall send it into heritage to you, and to comelings that come to you, that engendered sons in the midst of you; and they shall be to you as men born in the land among the sons of Israel; with you they shall part possession, in the midst of the lineages of Israel. (and ye shall divide it into an inheritance for yourselves, and for the newcomers who come to you, who beget children in the midst of you; and they shall be to you like people born in the land among the Israelites; they shall share the possession with you, in the midst of the tribes of Israel.)
23 Forsooth in whatever lineage a comeling is, there ye shall give possession to him, saith the Lord God. (Yea, in whatever tribe a newcomer is, there ye shall give a possession to him, saith the Lord God.)
