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 to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goes 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.

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

And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Asher.

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

And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, a portion for Naphtali.

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

And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Manasseh.

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

And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Ephraim.

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

And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, a portion for Reuben.

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

And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, a portion for Judah.

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 by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall 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 oblation that you shall offer to the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.

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 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 middle thereof.

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,

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.

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.

And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be to them a thing most holy by the border of 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 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.

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 shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the first fruits of the land: 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 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 middle thereof.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 to them that serve the city.

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

And they that serve the city shall serve it out of 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.

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

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 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 middle thereof.

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.

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

As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.

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

And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.

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

And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar a portion.

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

And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun a portion.

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

And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad a portion.

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 by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward 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 which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, says the Lord GOD.

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

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

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 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.

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 and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of 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 and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of 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 and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

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

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