Ezekiel, 48

1. Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east [and] west; a [portion for] Dan.

1. This is the list of the tribes. In the far north by way of Hethlon to Hamath, to Hazar-enon, with the frontier of Damascus lying to the north, bordering Hamath - each portion extends from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Dan, one portion.

2. And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a [portion for] Asher.

2. Bordering Dan, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Asher.

3. And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a [portion for] Naphtali.

3. Bordering Asher, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Naphtali.

4. And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a [portion for] Manasseh.

4. Bordering Naphtali, from the eastern to the western frontier: Manasseh.

5. And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a [portion for] Ephraim.

5. Bordering Manasseh, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Ephraim.

6. And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a [portion for] Reuben.

6. Bordering Ephraim, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Reuben.

7. And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a [portion for] Judah.

7. Bordering Reuben, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Judah.

8. And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand [reeds in] breadth, and [in] length as one of the [other] parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

8. Bordering Judah, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier, is the part you are to set aside, twenty-five thousand cubits wide, and as long as each of the other portions from the eastern frontier to the western frontier. The sanctuary will be in the center of it.

9. The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD [shall be] of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.

9. The part you must set aside for Yahweh is to be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits wide.

10. And for them, [even] for the priests, shall be [this] 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 the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.

10. This consecrated portion is to belong to the priests, being, on the north side, twenty-five thousand cubits; on the west side ten thousand cubits wide, on the east side ten thousand cubits wide and on the south side twenty-five thousand cubits long, and the sanctuary of Yahweh will be the center of it.

11. [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

11. This is to belong to the consecrated priests, to those of the sons of Zadok who maintained my liturgy and did not go astray with the straying Israelites, as the Levites went astray.

12. And [this] oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.

12. And so their portion is to be taken out of the most holy portion of the land, at the side of the territory of the Levites.

13. And over against 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.

13. The territory of the Levites, like the territory of the priests, is to be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide - the whole length being twenty-five thousand and the width ten thousand.

14. And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for [it is] holy unto the LORD.

14. They must not sell or exchange any part of it, and their part can never be alienated, since it is consecrated to Yahweh.

15. And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane [place] for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

15. The remainder, an area of five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand, is to be a non-sacred space for the city, for houses and pastures. The city is to stand in the center.

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.

16. Here are its measurements: on the north side, four thousand five hundred cubits; on the south side, four thousand five hundred cubits; on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits; on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits.

17. And the suburbs of the city shall be 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.

17. And the city pastures are to extend two hundred and fifty cubits to the north, two hundred and fifty to the south, two hundred and fifty to the east, two hundred and fifty to the west.

18. And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy [portion shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy [portion]; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.

18. What remains of the part set aside, after keeping out the consecrated portion, consists of ten thousand cubits eastward and ten thousand westward, alongside the consecrated portion; this will bring in a revenue for feeding the people working inside the city.

19. And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

19. These people are to be drawn from all the tribes of Israel and shall till this land.

20. All the oblation [shall be] five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.

20. The portion is to have a total area of twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits. So the sacred portion has a square shape and is located beside the land belonging to 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, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house [shall be] in the midst thereof.

21. What is left over on either side of the sacred portion and of the land belonging to the city, shall be for the prince, extending along the twenty-five thousand cubits eastward to the eastern frontier, and extending along the twenty-five thousand cubits westward to the western frontier - running parallel with the other portions. This is the portion for the prince with, the consecrated portion and the sanctuary of the Temple at the middle.

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, shall be for the prince.

22. Thus, apart from the property of the Levites and property of the city which lie inside the prince's portion, everything between the borders of Judah and the borders of Benjamin is to belong to the prince.

23. As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin [shall have] a [portion].

23. Here are the rest of the tribes: from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Benjamin.

24. And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon [shall have] a [portion].

24. Bordering Benjamin, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Simeon.

25. And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a [portion].

25. Bordering Simeon, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Issachar.

26. And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a [portion].

26. Bordering Issachar, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Zebulun.

27. And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a [portion].

27. Bordering Zebulun, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier: Gad.

28. And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar [unto] the waters of strife [in] Kadesh, [and] to the river toward the great sea.

28. The southern border of Gad will be formed by the southern frontier running through Tamar to the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, to the Wadi and 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 portions, saith the Lord GOD.

29. This is the inheritance of the tribes of Israel and this is how you will apportion it - it is Yahweh who speaks.

30. And these [are] the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.

30. Here are the ways out of the city. On the north side, being four thousand five hundred cubits long,

31. And the gates of the city [shall be] after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

31. three gates: the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah, the gate of Levi; the gates of the city are to be named after the tribes of Israel.

32. And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.

32. On the east side, which is to be four thousand five hundred cubits long, three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, the gate of Dan.

33. And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.

33. On the south side, which is to be four thousand five hundred cubits long, three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar, the gate of Zebulun.

34. At the west side four thousand and five hundred, [with] their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

34. On the west side, which is to be four thousand five hundred cubits long, three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, the gate of Naphtali.

35. [It was] round about eighteen thousand [measures]: and the name of the city from [that] day [shall be], The LORD [is] there.

35. The total perimeter will be eigthteen thousand cubits, and the name of the city is to be: Yahweh-is-there."
