| 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 And by the border of Dan,
from the east side unto the west side, Asher, one portion. 3 And
by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, Naphtali,
one portion. 4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side
unto the west side, Manasseh, one portion. 5 And by the border of
Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, Ephraim, one
portion. 6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even
unto the west side, Reuben, one portion. 7 And by the border of
Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, Judah, one portion.
8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall
be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand reeds
in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the
west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 9 The oblation
that ye shall offer unto Jehovah shall be five and twenty thousand
reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth. 10 And for these,
even for the priests, shall be the holy oblation: toward the north five and
twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in
breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south
five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in
the midst thereof. 11 It shall be for the priests that are
sanctified of the sons of Zadok, that have kept my charge, that went not
astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a
thing most holy, by the border of the Levites. 13 And answerable unto the
border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in
length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty
thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 14 And they shall sell none of it,
nor exchange it, nor shall the first-fruits of the land be alienated; for it
is holy unto Jehovah. 15 And the five thousand that are left in the
breadth, in front of the five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use,
for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in the
midst thereof. 16 And these shall be the measures thereof: 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 And the city shall have suburbs:
toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and
fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two
hundred and fifty. 18 And the residue in the length, answerable unto the
holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and
it shall be answerable unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall
be for food unto them that labor in the city. 19 And they that labor in
the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it. 20 All the
oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye
shall offer the holy oblation four-square, with the possession of the city.
21 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the
other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city; in front of the
five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward
in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable
unto the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the
sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof. 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 And as for the rest of
the tribes: from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin, one
portion. 24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto
the west side, Simeon, one portion. 25 And by the border of
Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar, one portion.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side,
Zebulun, one portion. 27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the
east side unto the west side, Gad, one portion. 28 And by the
border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from
Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, unto
the great sea. 29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the
tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, saith
the Lord Jehovah. 30 And these are the egresses 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 And 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 And 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, Jehovah is there.
