Boundaries of the Land. The northern boundary was to run from a point on the Mediterranean a little north of Tyre eastward in the direction of Damascus, the eastern boundary would stretch along the sea of Galilee, the Jordan, and the Dead Sea to a point a little to the south, the southern boundary ran from this point west to the Mediterranean, which naturally constituted the western boundary. No land was included east of the Jordan. As Levi did not count (Ezekiel 44:28), the number twelve was made up by reckoning Joseph (Ezekiel 47:13) as two tribes Ephraim and Manasseh. (Many of the places named in this list are unidentified.)
