Ezekiel 47:18-20
International Standard Version
18 “The eastern extremity is to proceed from between Hauran and[a] Damascus, then between Gilead, and then through the land of Israel—the Jordan River.[b] You are to measure from the northern border to the Dead[c] Sea. This is to be the eastern perimeter.
19 “You are to determine the southern extremity running from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, then from there proceeding to the Wadi,[d] and then to the Mediterranean[e] Sea. This is to be the southern[f] perimeter.
20 “The western[g] perimeter is to be the Mediterranean[h] Sea, from the southernmost border to a location opposite the entrance to Hamath. This is to be the western[i] perimeter.
