Ezekiel 47:18

THE HOLY LAND AS DIVIDED AMONG THE TWELVE TRIBES.

18. Davidson, following Smend, translates: “And the east side, from between Hauran and Damascus, between Gilead and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan, from the (north) boundary to the eastern sea, even unto Tamar. This is the east side.” He adds: “The line starts from Hazar-enan, a place lying where Damascus and Hauran join one another (Ezekiel 47:16)… From this point the line runs south; its course is the Jordan, between Gilead and the land of Israel.… The phrase ‘Ye shall measure’ is no doubt a misspelling for ‘unto Tamar’… Tamar probably lay south of the Dead Sea.”
