\v 21 In this way you will divide this land for yourselves, for the tribes of Israel.
\v 22 In the four corners of the outer courtyard there were four small courtyards, forty cubits in length and thirty in width. The four courtyards were the same size. \f + \ft The Hebrew word translated here as \fqa small \fqa is unclear. Some ancient and some modern translations translate it as "small". However, there is some uncertainty about this word, and others translate it differently. \f**
\v 23 Then it will happen that the foreigner will be with the tribe among whom he is living. You must give him an inheritance—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration."

ISSUE: It appears that EZK 47:22 was at some time between version 19-01 and 19-10 overwritten by what is now EZK 46:22. The 19-01 version of EZK 47:22 was:

\v 22 So you will distribute the inheritances for yourselves and for the foreigners in your midst, those who have given birth to children in your midst and who are, with you, like the native born people of Israel. You will cast lots for inheritances among the tribes of Israel.

Suggest replacing what is now 47:22 with this text after reviewing it.

The current Ezk 47:22 appears at Ezk 46:22 (which is the original location).

Ezk 46:22 is correct (and was wrongly copied to Ezk 47:22.
