יחזקאל, פרק מ״ז, פסוק כ״ג

The future division of the land presents a vision of complete integration for those who join the Jewish people, granting converts a permanent inheritance alongside the native tribes of Israel. Over the long years of exile, the specific tribal identities of the Israelites became mixed and lost to history. However, in the future, Elijah the Prophet will return to clarify the exact lineage of every individual, restoring each person to their proper tribe [רד״ק].

Converts do not share this ancestral tribal lineage, so their place in the land is determined by the relationships they built in the past. The location of a convert's inheritance is directly tied to the specific tribe they lived among and joined during the years of exile. Their portion of land will be assigned within the borders of that chosen tribe. Rather than forming a separate, isolated community, converts will settle directly among the various tribes they connected with, blending into them completely [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
