As for the rest of the tribes
on Ezekiel 48:23-27
South of the prince's land, Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun and Gad take strips in the same straight bands as the northern tribes. The order departs from Jacob's blessing and from Joshua's allotment alike, arranged by distance from the sanctuary. Gad sets up the border the next verse describes.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Vers. 23 seqq.) And the rest of the tribes, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Benjamin. And against the boundary of Benjamin, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Simeon. And along the boundary of Simeon, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Issachar. And along the boundary of Issachar, from the eastern boundary to the western boundary, belong to Zebulun. And along the boundary of Zebulun, from the eastern boundary to the sea, belong to Gad.
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
As for the rest of the tribes,.... Not yet mentioned, which lay to the south of the sanctuary, and are as follow: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion; the sons of God's right hand, who are as near and dear to him as a man's right hand is to him.
