The future allocation of the land echoes the past while introducing a distinct new order. Although the upcoming boundaries share certain similarities with the historical division carried out during the days of Joshua, the land is now simply organized into horizontal strips.
A major change in this new arrangement involves the tribe of Reuben. In the future, this tribe will receive its inheritance entirely within the actual borders of the land. This represents a significant shift from their historical territory, which was originally established on the eastern side of the Jordan River because they specifically asked to settle in that location [שטיינזלץ].
