Ezekiel 48

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

Now these are the names of the tribes: from the north end, from the west on the way of Hethlon to the way into Hamath, in the direction of Hazar-enon, with the limit of Damascus to the north, by Hamath; and on the limit from the east side to the west side: Dan, one part.

2 and by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one [portion];

And on the limit of Dan, from the east side to the west side: Asher, one part.

3 and by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one [portion];

And on the limit of Asher, from the east side to the west side: Naphtali, one part.

4 and by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one [portion];

And on the limit of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side: Manasseh, one part.

5 and by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one [portion];

And on the limit of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side: Ephraim, one part.

6 and by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one [portion];

And on the limit of Ephraim, from the east side to the west side: Reuben, one part.

7 and by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion];

And on the limit of Reuben, from the east side to the west side: Judah, one part.

8 and by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side is the raised-offering that you lift up, twenty-five thousand [cubits] broad and long, as one of the parts, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary has been in its midst.

And on the limit of Judah, from the east side to the west side, will be the offering which you are to make, twenty-five thousand wide, and as long as one of the parts, from the east side to the west side: and the holy place will be in the middle of it.

9 The raised-offering that you lift up to YHWH [is] twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand broad.

The offering you will give to the Lord is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty-five thousand wide.

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

And for these, that is the priests, the holy offering is to be twenty-five thousand long to the north, ten thousand wide to the west, ten thousand wide to the east and twenty-five thousand long to the south; and the holy place of the Lord will be in the middle of it.

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

For the priests who have been made holy, those of the sons of Zadok who kept the orders I gave them, who did not go out of the right way when the children of Israel went from the way, as the Levites did,

12 even the raised-offering has been for them, out of the raised-offering of the land, most holy, by the border of the Levites.

Even for them will be the offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, on the limit of the land given to the Levites.

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

And the Levites are to have a part of the land equal to the limit of the priests', twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide, all of it together to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide.

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

And they are not to let any of it go for a price, or give it in exchange; and the part of the land given to the Lord is not to go into other hands: for it is holy to the Lord.

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

And the other five thousand, measured from side to side, in front of the twenty-five thousand, is to be for common use, for the town, for living in and for a free space: and the town will be in the middle of it.

16 And these [are] its measurements: 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.

And these will be its measures: the north side, four thousand five hundred, and the south side, four thousand five hundred, and on the east side, four thousand five hundred, and on the west side, four thousand five hundred.

17 And the outskirt of the city has been 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 town will have a free space on the north of two hundred and fifty, on the south of two hundred and fifty, on the east of two hundred and fifty, and on the west of two hundred and fifty.

18 And the remainder in length alongside the raised-offering of the holy [portion is] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward, and it has been alongside the raised-offering of the holy [portion], and its increase has been for food for those serving the city,

And the rest, in measure as long as the holy offering, will be ten thousand to the east and ten thousand to the west: and its produce will be for food for the workers of the town.

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

It will be farmed by workers of the town from all the tribes of Israel.

20 All the raised-offering [is] twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand square—you lift up the raised-offering of the holy [portion] with the possession of the city.

The size of the offering all together is to be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you are to make the holy offering a square, together with the property of the town.

21 And the remainder [is] for the prince, on this side and on that side of the raised-offering of the holy [portion], and of the possession of the city, on the front of the twenty-five thousand of the raised-offering to the east border, and westward, on the front of the twenty-five thousand on the west border, alongside the portions of the prince; and the raised-offering of the holy [portion], and the sanctuary of the house, has been in its midst.

And the rest is to be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the twenty-five thousand to the east, as far as the east limit, and to the west, in front of the twenty-five thousand, as far as the west limit, and of the same measure as those parts; it will be the property of the prince: and the holy offering and holy place of the house will be in the middle of it.

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

And the property of the Levites and the property of the town will be in the middle of the prince's property; between the limit of Judah's part and the limit of Benjamin's part will be for the prince.

23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one [portion];

And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side: Benjamin, one part.

24 and by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one [portion];

And on the limit of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side: Simeon, one part.

25 and by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one [portion];

And on the limit of Simeon, from the east side to the west side: Issachar, one part.

26 and by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one [portion];

And on the limit of Issachar, from the east side to the west side: Zebulun, one part.

27 and by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one [portion];

And on the limit of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side: Gad one part.

28 and by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border has been from Tamar [to] the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream by the Great Sea.

And on the limit of Gad, on the south side and to the south of it, the limit will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream, to the Great Sea.

29 This [is] the land that you separate by inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these [are] their divisions,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.

This is the land of which distribution is to be made by the decision of the Lord, among the tribes of Israel for their heritage, and these are their heritages, says the Lord.

30 “And these [are] the outgoings of the city: on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures;

And these are the outskirts of the town: on the north side, four thousand five hundred by measure;

31 and the gates of the city [are] according to the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates northward—one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

And the doors of the town are to be named by the names of the tribes of Israel; three doors on the north, one for Reuben, one for Judah, one for Levi;

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

And at the east side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Joseph, one for Benjamin, one for Dan;

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

And at the south side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Simeon, one for Issachar, one for Zebulun;

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

At the west side, four thousand five hundred by measure, with their three doors, one for Gad, one for Asher, one for Naphtali.

35 [It is] eighteen thousand around, and the renown of the city [is] from the day YHWH [is] there.”

It is to be eighteen thousand all round: and the name of the town from that day will be, The Lord is there.
