Ezekiel 48:5
3 Naphtali will have one portion bordering the territory of Asher from east to west.
4 Manasseh will have one portion bordering the territory of Naphtali from east to west.
Ephraim will have one portion bordering the territory of Manasseh from east to west.
6 Reuben will have one portion bordering the territory of Ephraim from east to west.
7 Judah will have one portion bordering the territory of Reuben 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.
