1 Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the
way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan at the border of
Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east
and west,) Dan, one portion. 2 By the border of Dan, from
the east side to the west side, Asher, one portion. 3 By the
border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one
portion. 4 By the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the
west side, Manasseh, one portion. 5 By the border of Manasseh,
from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one portion. 6 By
the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one
portion. 7 By the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west
side, Judah, one portion. 8 By the border of Judah, from the east
side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer,
twenty-five thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the
portions, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in
the midst of it. 9 The offering that you shall offer to Yahweh shall
be twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth.
10 For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the
north twenty-five thousand in length, and toward the west ten
thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward
the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall
be in the midst of it. 11 It shall be for the priests who are
sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who didn’t go
astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a thing
most holy, by the border of the Levites. 13 Answerable to the border of
the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand in length, and ten
thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the
breadth ten thousand. 14 They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor
shall the first fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yahweh.
15 The five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the
twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and
for suburbs; and the city shall be in the midst of it. 16 These shall be
the measures of it: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the
south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand
and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred. 17 The
city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred fifty, and toward the
south two hundred fifty, and toward the east two hundred fifty, and toward
the west two hundred fifty. 18 The remainder in the length, answerable to
the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward;
and it shall be answerable to the holy offering; and the increase of it shall
be for food to those who labor in the city. 19 Those who labor in the
city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall until it. 20 All the offering
shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall offer
the holy offering four-square, with the possession of the city. 21 The
residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy
offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five
thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the
twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions, it
shall be for the prince: and the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house
shall be in the midst of it. 22 Moreover from the possession of the
Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that
which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of
Benjamin, it shall be for the prince. 23 As for the rest of the tribes:
from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one portion. 24 By
the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one
portion. 25 By the border of Simeon, from the east side to the
west side, Issachar, one portion. 26 By the border of Issachar,
from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one portion. 27 By
the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one
portion. 28 By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the
border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the
brook of Egypt, to the great sea. 29 This is the land which
you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and
these are their several portions, says the Lord Yahweh. 30 These are the
exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred
reeds by measure; 31 and the gates of the city shall be after the
names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben,
one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one. 32 At the east side
four thousand and five hundred reeds, and three gates: even the gate
of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one. 33 At the
south side four thousand and five hundred reeds by measure, and three
gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of
Zebulun, one. 34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred
reeds, with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of
Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one. 35 It shall be eighteen thousand
reeds round about: and the name of the city from that day shall be,
Yahweh is there.
