1. Divide it equally among them (47:13-23)

When Joshua conquered the land of Canaan, it was not possible to divide the land equally among all the tribes. But as God gives the New Promised Land to his people, the eternal portions would be divided equally. Foreigners also would be given an allotted inheritance together with the people of Israel (Eph 3:6).

2. Division of the land (48:1-35)

The land would be divided equally, with seven tribes to the north and five to the south, with the sacred district in the middle. In the sacred district the priests, Levites, and the prince would live. But the most important thing was the temple and the New City, which would be called by a new name: THE LORD IS THERE. We look forward to the new city, the heavenly Jerusalem, because there we will meet with God and live with him forever (Rev 21:3).
