Commentary on Ezekiel 47:13

Theological / Devotional

Twelve tribes. Some from each of the twelve tribes were expected to return from captivity. The promises were not limited to Judah and Benjamin, but were for all Israel.

Two portions. Compare Gen. 48:22; Joshua 17:14, 17. Levi’s portion was provided for in the “oblation” (Ezekiel 45:5, 6) and so the two portions for Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) made up the twelve portions.
