📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet who lived during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, a time when the Israelites were displaced from their homeland due to their disobedience and conquest by foreign powers. In his prophetic visions, God outlined a future restoration of Israel, including a detailed plan for dividing the promised land among the twelve tribes as a symbol of renewed covenant and inheritance. This verse concludes that description, emphasizing that the allocation of land was to be done by lot under God's direct authority.
