Ezekiel 47:13 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The ideal reallotment of the land to the twelve tribes of Israel is found in Ezekiel 47:13-48.

The special mention of Joseph’s portions was in order to express that the twelve portions were to be exclusive of Levi’s land, which was to be provided out of the “oblation.”

Ezekiel 47:13

13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
