Ezek 48
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 to the west side, Asher, one [portion].
3
And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one
[portion].
4
And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one
[portion].
5
And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one [portion].
6
And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one
[portion].
7
And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion].
8
And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the oblation
which you shall offer, five and twenty 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 oblation that you shall offer to YHWH 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 YHWH shall be in its midst.
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 to them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy,
by the border of the Levites.
13
And answerable to 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 to YHWH.
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 its midst.
16
And these shall be its measures: 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 to the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand
eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable to the holy oblation;
and its increase shall be for food to 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: you
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 to the portions, it shall be for the prince:
and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.
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 to the west side, Benjamin,
one [portion].
24
And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one [portion].
25
And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one [portion].
26
And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one [portion].
27
And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to 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 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 YHWH.
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, YHWH is there.
