Ezekiel 48:24
22 So the Levitical property and the city property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin.
23 As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin will have one portion extending from the east side to the west side.
Simeon will have one portion bordering the territory of Benjamin from east to west.
25 Issachar will have one portion bordering the territory of Simeon from east to west.
26 Zebulun will have one portion bordering the territory of Issachar from east to west.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
