It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn’t go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 skal det tilhøre som en Offerydelse af Landets Offerydelse, et højhelligt Omraade langs Leviternes.

It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a most holy thing, by the border of the Levites.

13 Og Leviterne skal have et lige saa stort Omraade som Præsterne, 25 000 Alen langt og 10 000 Alen bredt; den samlede Længde bliver saaledes 25 000 Alen, Bredden 20 000.

They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated, for it is holy to the LORD.

15 Det Stykke paa 5000 Alens Bredde, som er tilovers af Offerydelsens Bredde langs de 25 000 Alen, skal være uindviet Land og tilfalde Byen til Boliger og Græsgang, og Byen skal ligge i Midten;

18 Af det Stykke, som endnu er tilovers langs med den hellige Offerydelse, 10 000 Alen mod Øst og 10 000 mod Vest, skal Afgrøden tjene Byens Indbyggere til Mad.

The remainder of the length, alongside the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward; and it shall be alongside the holy offering. Its increase shall be for food to those who labor in the city.

19 Byens Befolkning skal sammensættes saaledes, at Folk fra alle Israels Stammer bor der:

All the offering shall be a square of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand. You shall offer it as a holy offering, with the possession of the city.

21 Men Resten skal tilfalde Fyrsten; hvad der ligger paa begge Sider af den hellige Offerydelse og Byens Grundejendom, østen for de 25 000 Alen hen til Østgrænsen og vesten for de 25 000 Alen hen til Vestgrænsen, langs Stammelodderne, skal tilhøre Fyrsten; den hellige Offerydelse, Templets Helligdom i Midten

“The remainder 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, alongside the portions, it shall be for the prince. The holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it.

22 og Leviternes og Byens Grundejendom skal ligge midt imellem de Stykker, som tilfalder Fyrsten mellem Judas og Benjamins Omraade.

Moreover, from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the middle of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.

23 Saa følger de sidste Stammer: Fra Østsiden til Vestsiden Benjamin, een Stammelod;

29 Det er det Land, I ved Lodkastning skal udskifte som Arvelod til Israels Stammer, og det er deres Stammelodder, lyder det fra den Herre HERREN.

“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 GOD.
