1 And these are the names of the tribes from the northern corner, on the side of the descent that draws a line to the entrance of Emath the palace of Aelam, the border of Damascus northward on the side of Emath the palace; and they shall have the eastern parts as far as the sea, for Dan, one [portion].

And these [are] the names of the tribes: From the north end unto the side of the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to Hamath, Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus northward, unto the side of Hamath, and they have been his — side east and west, Dan one,

2 And from the borders of Dan eastward as far as the west sea-coast, for Asser, one.

and by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, Asher one,

3 And from the borders of Asser, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Nephthalim, one.

and by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, Naphtali one,

4 And from the borders of Nephthalim, from the east as far as the west coasts, for Manasse, one.

and by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, Manasseh one,

5 And from the borders of Manasse, from the eastern parts as far as the west coasts, for Ephraim, one.

and by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, Judah one,

8 And from the borders of Juda, from the eastern parts shall be the offering of first fruits, in the breadth twenty-five thousand [reeds], and in length as one of the portions [measured] from the east even to the western parts: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of them.

and by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side is the heave-offering that ye lift up, five and twenty thousand broad and long, as one of the parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary hath been in its midst.

9 [As for] the first fruits which they shall offer to the Lord, [it shall be] in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth twenty-five thousand.

The heave-offering that ye lift up to Jehovah [is] five and twenty thousand long, and broad ten thousand.

10 Out of this shall be the first fruits of the holy things to the priests, northward, five and twenty-thousand, and towards the west, ten thousand, and southward, five and twenty thousand: and the mountain of the sanctuary, shall be in the midst of it,

And of these is the holy heave-offering for the priests, northward five and twenty thousand, and westward [in] breadth ten thousand, and eastward [in] breadth ten thousand, and southward [in] length five and twenty thousand: and the sanctuary of Jehovah hath been in its midst.

11 for the priests, for the consecrated sons of Sadduc, who keep the charges of the house, who erred not in the error of the children of Israel, as the Levites erred.

For the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who erred not in the erring of the sons of Israel, as the Levites erred,

12 And the first fruits shall be given to them out of the first fruits of the land, [even] a most holy portion from the borders of the Levites.

even the heave-offering hath been to them, out of the heave-offering of the land, most holy, by the border of the Levites.

13 And the Levites [shall have] the [part], next to the borders of the priests, in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth ten thousand: the whole length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand.

'And [to] the Levites over-against the border of the priests [are] five and twenty thousand [in] length, and [in] breadth ten thousand, all the length [is] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 No [part] of it shall be sold, nor measured [as for sale], neither shall the first fruits of the land be taken away: for they are holy to the Lord.

And they do not sell of it, nor exchange, nor cause to pass away the first-fruit of the land: for [it is] holy to Jehovah.

15 But [concerning] the five thousand that remain in the breadth in the five and twenty thousand, they shall be a suburb to the city for dwelling, and for a space before it: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

And the five thousand that is left in the breadth, on the front of the five and twenty thousand, is common — for the city, for dwelling, and for suburb, and the city hath been in its midst.

16 And these [shall be] its dimensions; from the northern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the southern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the eastern side four thousand and five hundred, and from the western side [they shall measure] four thousand and five hundred.

17 And there shall be a space to the city northward two hundred and fifty, and southward two hundred and fifty, and eastward two hundred and fifty, and westward two hundred and fifty.

And the suburb to the city hath been northward, fifty and two hundred, and southward, fifty and two hundred, and eastward, fifty and two hundred, and westward, fifty and two hundred.

18 And the remainder of the length that is next to the first fruits of the holy [portion shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and they shall be the first fruits of the sanctuary; and the fruits thereof shall be for bread to them that labour for the city.

'And the residue in length over-against the heave-offering of the holy [portion is] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward, and it hath been over-against the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and its increase hath been for food to the servants of the city,

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

even [to] him who is serving the city, they serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

20 The whole offering [shall be] a square of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall separate [again part] of it, the first fruits of the sanctuary, from the possession of the city.

All the heave-offering [is] five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand, square do ye lift up the heave-offering of the holy [portion] with the possession of the city.

21 And the prince [shall have] the remainder on this side and on that side from the first fruits of the sanctuary, and [there shall be] a possession of the city, for five and twenty thousand cubits in length, to the eastern and western borders, for five and twenty thousand to the western borders, next to the portions of the prince; and the first fruits of the holy things and the sanctuary of the house [shall be] in the midst of it.

'And the residue [is] for the prince, on this side and on that side of the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and of the possession of the city, on the front of the five and twenty thousand of the heave-offering unto the east border, and westward, on the front of the five and twenty thousand on the west border, over-against the portions of the prince; and the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and the sanctuary of the house, hath been in its midst.

22 And there shall be [a portion taken] from the Levites, from the possession of the city in the midst of the princes between the borders of Juda and the borders of Benjamin, and it shall be [the portion] of the princes.

And from the possession of the Levites, from the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is to the prince, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, there is to the prince.

23 And [as for] the rest of the tribes, from the eastern parts as far as the western, Benjamin [shall have] one [portion].

'As to the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin one,

24 And from the borders of Benjamin, from the eastern parts to the western, Symeon, one.

and by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon one,

25 And from the borders of Symeon, from the eastern parts to the western, Issachar, one.

and by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar one,

26 And from the borders of Issachar, from the eastern parts to the western, Zabulon, one.

28 And from the borders of Gad, from the eastern parts to the south-western parts; his coasts shall even be from Thaeman, and the water of Barimoth Cades, for an inheritance, to the great sea.

and by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border hath been from Tamar [to] the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream by the great sea.

29 This is the land, which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, says the Lord God.

This [is] the land that ye separate by inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these [are] their portions — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

30 And these are the goings out of the city northward, four thousand and five hundred by measure.

'And these [are] the outgoings of the city on the north side, five hundred, and four thousand measures.

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

And the gates of the city [are] according to 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.
