יחזקאל, פרק מ״ח, פסוק כ״ד

The future division of the land systematically maps out territories for the tribes, moving steadily southward to ensure every group receives its proper inheritance. Just past the southern border of Benjamin's territory, a new tract of land is established. This portion spans horizontally across the country, stretching entirely from the eastern edge to the western border.

This specific area is set aside for the tribe of Simeon, who receives a single, equal share of the land just like the rest of the tribes [מצודת דוד]. Placing Simeon in the southern part of the country aligns perfectly with historical precedent, as the tribe originally lived in the southern desert region of the Negev in ancient times [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
