    Daily Bible Portion (Thursday)

    Daily Bible Portion - 5 of 7
    "JOURNEYS"

    (Weekly Reading>>Numbers 33:1-36:13, Jeremiah 2:4-28; 4:1-2, Matthew 5:33-37, James 4:1-5:20)


    Ezekiel was given a very detailed vision describing the Temple, the Land and its boundaries. It is also clear that Scripture says Yahweh is no respecter of man anyone whom leaves his fathers house and walks in covenant with Yahweh will also have an inheritance and is considered equal to a native born,




    “You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the alien settles, there you are to give him his inheritance,’ declares the Sovereign Yahweh” (Ezekiel 47:21-23).







    The boundaries spoken to Abraham by Yahweh’s Covenant are still valid today. This was made clear in Ezekiel chapters 47-48. The boundaries and the divisions of the Land are given to the twelve tribes of Israel by name. Every tribe is listed and not one is missing. All are given their portion of land in the land of Israel. Yahweh has very carefully written this all down for future generations so there will be no mistaking His intentions or promises to the twelve tribes. The prophetic listing for all twelve tribes, along with the Priests and Levites territories are as follows:




    Ezekiel 48:1-7 “At the northern frontier,

    Dan will have one portion; it will follow the Hethlon road to Lebo Hamath; Hazar Enan and the northern border of Damascus next to Hamath will be part of its border from the east side to the west side.

    Asher will have one portion; it will border the territory of Dan from east to west.

    Naphtali will have one portion; it will border the territory of Asher from east to west.

    Manasseh will have one portion; it will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.

    Ephraim will have one portion; it will border the territory of Manasseh from east to west.

    Reuben will have one portion; it will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.

    Judah will have one portion; it will border the territory of Reuben from east to west. The special portions will be next to Judah from east to west and border on Benjamin for the priests and Levites.”










    Ezekiel 48: 23-29 “As for the rest of the tribes:

    Benjamin will have one portion; it will extend from the east side to the west side.

    Simeon will have one portion; it will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.

    Issachar will have one portion; it will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.

    Zebulun will have one portion; it will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.

    Gad will have one portion; it will border the territory of Zebulun from east to west. The southern boundary of Gad will run south from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Great Sea.”

    “This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions, declares the Sovereign LORD/YHVH” (Ezekiel 48:29).
