Ezekiel 47:13-23
These are the boundaries of the land that you will divide among the twelve tribes of Israel as their inheritance, with two portions for Joseph. You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your ancestors, this land will become your inheritance.
You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the foreigners residing among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe a foreigner resides, there you are to give them their inheritance,” declares the Sovereign Lord.
The new tribal boundaries with which the book concludes are stylized, rather than geographically feasible.
Why?
Among bribes the land is chosen by lot, and it is equal to each tribe.
Foreigners residing in Israel and have children they may have the same authority as Israelite may have inheritance among them.
God is caring the foreigners, they are alone.
Now I am not foreigner, I have same right as Israelites before the Lord have the inheritance from the Lord's command.
How?
Praise to the Lord I am a foreigner but I may have inheritance as Israelites.
