Ezekiel 48:4
And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
Treasury of Scripture

by the border. In this division of the Holy Lands, a portion is laid out for each of the twelve tribes directly across the country, from east to west; and deducting the square of

25,000 reeds, or nearly fifty miles on each side, between Judah and Benjamin, for the priests, Levites, city, and temple, with the inheritance of the prince to the east and west, (see on ch

Ezekiel 45:1 Moreover, when you shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an oblation to the LORD, an holy portion of the land...

,) from

280 miles, the length of the country from north to south, there will remain for each tribe a portion of less than twenty miles in width, and

150 in length. This division of the land entirely differs from that which was made in the days of Joshua, in which the tribes were not only differently placed, but confused and inter-mixed; while here distinct lots are assigned to each of the twelve tribes, in a regular mathematical form. Literally such a division never took place: it seems to denote the equality of privileges which subsists among all the tribes of Believers, of whatever nation, and whatever their previous character may have been.

Manasseh.

The Portion for the Tribes

1Now these are the names of the tribes.
