Tanach - Twelve Prophets - Zecharia Chapter 14
8. And it shall be on that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of
them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in
winter shall it be.
9. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; on that day the Lord shall be one, and
his name one.
10. All the land shall be changed like the Arabah from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem;
and she shall be lifted up, and remain in her place, from the Gate of Benjamin to the
place of the first gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananeel to the
king’s wine presses.
11. And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem
shall dwell secure.
Tanach - Isaiah Chapter 4
1. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own
bread, and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by your name, to take away our
reproach.
2. In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of
the earth shall be excellent and comely for those of Israel who have escaped.
3. And it shall come to pass, that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in
Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one who has been recorded among the living in
Jerusalem;
4. When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have
purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit
of burning.
5. And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her
assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for upon
all the glory shall be a canopy.
6. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a
place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
Tanach - Isaiah Chapter 11
9. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full
of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
10. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, who shall stand for a banner of the
people; to it shall the nations seek; and his resting place shall be glorious.
11. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the
second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall be left, from Assyria, and
from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Kush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from
Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12. And he shall set up a banner for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of
Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Tanach - Ezekiel Chapter 48
1. And these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of
Hethlon, as one goes to Hamath, Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast
of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
2. And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Asher.
3. And by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west side, a portion for
Naphtali.
4. And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, a portion for
Manasseh.
5. And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, a portion for
Ephraim.

7. And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Judah.
8. And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering
which you shall offer of twenty five thousand reeds in width, and in length as one of the
other parts, from the east side to the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the midst
of it.
9. The portion that you shall designate to the Lord shall be of twenty five thousand in
length, and of ten thousand in width.
10. And for them, for the priests, shall be this holy portion; toward the north twenty
five thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in width, and toward the east
ten thousand in width, and toward the south twenty five thousand in length; and the
sanctuary of the Lord shall be in its midst.
11. It shall belong to the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; who have kept
my charge, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the other
Levites went astray.
12. And it shall be to them a section set apart from the designated portion of the land, a
thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.
13. And opposite the border of the priests the Levites shall have twenty five thousand in
length, and ten thousand in width; all the length shall be twenty five thousand, and the
width ten thousand.
14. (K) And they shall not sell any of it, nor exchange, nor alienate that choice portion
of the land; for it is holy to the Lord.
15. And the five thousand, that are left in the width over against the twenty five
thousand, shall be for common use for the city, for dwelling, and for open land; and the
city shall be in its midst.
16. And these shall be its measures; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and
the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five
hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17. And the open lands of the city shall be towards the north two hundred and fifty, and
towards the south two hundred and fifty, and towards the east two hundred and fifty, and
toward the west two hundred and fifty.
18. And the remnant in length corresponding to the designated holy portion shall be ten
thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be alongside the designated
holy portion; and its produce shall be for food to those who work in the city.
19. And those who work in the city shall work in it from all the tribes of Israel.
20. And the designated portion shall be twenty five thousand by twenty five thousand; you
shall designate the holy portion square, including the possession of the city.
21. And the remnant shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy
portion, and of the possession of the city, in front of the twenty five thousand of the
designated area to the east border, and westward opposite the twenty five thousand to the
west border, opposite the portions for the prince; and it shall be the holy area; and the
sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.
22. And thus the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in
the midst of that which is the prince’s; between the border of Judah and the border
of Benjamin, shall be the portion of the prince.
23. As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Benjamin shall
have a portion.

portion.
28. And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be from Tamar
to the waters of Meribot-Kadesh, and to the river toward the Great Sea.
29. This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for
inheritance, and these are their portions, says the Lord God.

Tanach - Ezekiel Chapter 47
13. Thus says the Lord God: This shall be the border, according to which you shall divide
the land for inheritance to the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two portions.
14. And you shall inherit it, one as well as another; concerning which I raised my hand to
give it to your fathers; and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.
15. And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the Great Sea, by
the way of Hethlon, as you go to Zedad;
16. Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of
Hamath; middle Hazar, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17. And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus, and the north
northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18. And the east side you shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead,
and between the land of Israel and the Jordan, from the border to the east sea. And this
is the east side.
19. And the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of Meribot-Kadesh, to the
river, as far as the Great Sea. And this is south side towards the Negev.
20. The west side also shall be the Great Sea from the border, as far as opposite the
entrance to Hamath. This is the west side.
21. And you shall divide this land for yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
22. And it shall come to pass, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you,
and to the foreigners who sojourn among you, who shall father children among you; and they
shall be to you as those born in the country among the people of Israel; they shall have
inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23. And it shall come to pass, that in whatever tribe the foreigner sojourns, there shall
you give him his inheritance, says the Lord God.
Tanach - Twelve Prophets - Zecharia Chapter 14
20. On that day shall there be inscribed upon the bells of the horses, Sacred to the
Lord; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the basins before the altar.
21. And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be sacred to the Lord of hosts; and all
those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and cook in them; and on that day there
shall not be merchants any more in the house of the Lord of hosts.
Tanach - Twelve Prophets - Zecharia Chapter 13
1. On that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem for cleansing and for sprinkling.
2. And it shall come to pass on that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the
names of the idols from the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will
cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass from the land.
- Israel as "head of nations"
Tanach - Isaiah Chapter 2
1. The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills;
and all nations shall flow to it.
3. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in
his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people; and they shall
beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more.
