Ezekiel 48

YHWH details the division of the land into portions for the twelve tribes of Israel, from north to south: Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, Judah, followed by a central holy district for the sanctuary, priests (sons of Zadok), Levites, the city, and the prince (Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad).[1][2][3] The chapter concludes with the city's twelve gates named after the tribes and its new name, YHWH Shammah ('YHWH is there'), signifying divine presence.[1][2][8]
