Ezekiel 47:19 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The southern border runs from Tamar all the way to the springs at Kadesh (where there was always drama), then follows the river out to the Mediterranean Sea. That's your southern boundary right there.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God draws clear lines, he knows exactly where your territory begins and ends.
