Ezekiel 48

1 These are the names of the tribes. The tribe of Dan will receive one portion of land; its boundary will run along the northern boundary of Israel by way of Hethlon and Lebo Hamath. Its boundary will go on to Hazar Enan and along the border with Damascus to the north and then on to Hamath. Dan's boundary will go from east all the way to the Great Sea.

And these are the names of the tribes from the borders of the north, by the way of Hethalon, as they go to Emath, the court of Enan the border of Damascus northward, by the way of Emath. And from the east side thereof to the sea, shall be one portion for Dan.

2 Adjoining the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, Asher will have one portion.

And by the border of Dan, from the east side even to the side of the sea, one portion for Aser:

3 Adjoining the border of Asher from the east side to the west, Naphtali will have one portion.

And by the border of Aser, from the east side even to the side of the sea, one portion for Nephthali.

4 Adjoining the border of Naphtali from the east side to the west, Manasseh will have one portion.

And by the border of Nephthali, from the east side even to the side of the sea, one portion for Manasses.

5 Adjoining the border of Manasseh from the east side to the west, Ephraim will have one portion.

And by the border of Manasses, from the east side even to the side of the sea, one portion for Ephraim.

6 Adjoining the border of Ephraim from the east side to the west, Reuben will have one portion.

And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the side of the sea, one portion for Ruben.

7 Adjoining the border of Reuben from the east side to the west, Judah will have one portion.

And by the border of Ruben, from the east side even to the side of the sea, one portion for Juda.

8 The offering of land that you will make will be along the border with Judah and extend from the east side to the west side; it will be twenty-five thousand cubits in width. Its length will correspond to one tribe's portion from the east side to the west side, and the temple will be in the middle of it.

And by the border of Juda, from the east side even to the side of the sea, shall be the firstfruits which you shall set apart, five and twenty thousand in breadth, and in length, as every one of the portions from the east side to the side of the sea: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst thereof.

9 This land that you will offer up to Yahweh will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand cubits in width.

The firstfruits which you shall set apart for the Lord: shall be the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand.

10 These will be the assignments of this holy portion of land: The priests will have land assigned to them measuring twenty-five thousand cubits in length on the north side; ten thousand cubits in width on the west side; ten thousand cubits in width on the east side; and twenty-five thousand cubits in length on the south side, with the holy place of Yahweh in the middle of it.

And these shall be the firstfruits of the sanctuary for the priests: toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the sea ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east also 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.

11 This will be for the consecration of the priests of the line of Zadok, who have served me faithfully and who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did.

The sanctuary shall be for the priests of the sons of Sadoc, who kept my ceremonies, and went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites also went astray.

12 The offering for them will be a portion of this most holy land, extending to the border of the Levites.

And for them shall be the firstfruits of the firstfruits of the land holy of holies, by the border of the Levites.

13 The Levites' land along the border with the priests' land will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand cubits in width. The entire length of the two tracts of land will be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and twenty thousand cubits in width.

And the Levites in like manner shall have by the borders of the priests 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 They must not sell it or exchange it; none of this firstfruits of the land of Israel must ever be separated from these tracts, for it all is holy to Yahweh.

And they shall not sell thereof, nor exchange, neither shall the firstfruits of the land be alienated, because they are sanctified to the Lord.

15 The remaining land, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand cubits in length, will be for the collective use of the city, the houses, and the pastureland; the city will be in its midst.

But the five thousand that remain 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.

16 These will be the city's measurements: The north side will be 4,500 cubits in length; the south side will be 4,500 cubits in length; the east side will be 4,500 cubits in length; and the west side will be 4,500 cubits in length.

And these are the measures thereof: on the north side four thousand and five hundred: and on the south side four thousand and five hundred: and on the east side four thousand and five hundred: and on the west side four thousand and five hundred.

17 There will be pasture for the city toward the north, 250 cubits deep; to the south, 250 cubits deep; to the east, 250 cubits deep, and to the west, 250 cubits deep.

And the suburbs of the city shall be to the north two hundred and fifty, and to the south two hundred and fifty, and to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the sea two hundred and fifty.

18 The remaining area of the holy offering will stretch for ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand cubits to the west. It will stretch along the border of the holy offering, and its produce will be food for those working in the city.

And the residue in length by the firstfruits of the sanctuary, ten thousand toward the east, and ten thousand toward the west, shall be as the firstfruits of the sanctuary: and the fruits thereof shall be for bread to them that serve the city.

19 The people who work in the city, people belong to all the tribes of Israel, will farm that land.

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

20 All the land offering will measure twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits. In this way you will make the holy offering of land, together with the land for the city.

All the firstfruits, of five and twenty thousand, by five and twenty thousand foursquare, shall be set apart for the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and for the possession of the city.

21 The rest of the land on either side of the holy offering and the city area will be for the prince. The prince's tract of land to the east will extend for twenty-five thousand cubits from boundary of the holy offering to the eastern border—and his tract to the west will extend for twenty-five thousand cubits to the western border. In the middle will be the holy offering, and the holy place of the temple will be in its midst.

And the residue shall be for the prince on every side of the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and of the possession of the city over against the five and twenty thousand of the firstfruits unto the east border: toward the sea also over against the five and twenty thousand, unto the border of the sea, shall likewise be the portion of the prince: and the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in the midst thereof.

22 The land extending from the property of the Levites and the area of the city in its midst will be for for the prince; it will be between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin—this land will be for the prince.

And from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city which ale in the midst of the prince’s portions: what shall be to the border of Juda, and to the border of Benjamin, shall also belong to the prince.

23 As for the remaining tribes, their portions will also run from the eastern side to the west side. Benjamin will receive one portion.

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

24 Adjoining the border of Benjamin from the east side to the west, Simeon will have one portion.

And over against the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, one portion for Simeon.

25 Adjoining the border of Simeon from the east side to the west, Issachar will have one portion.

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

26 Adjoining the border of Issachar from the east side to the west, Zebulun will have one portion.

And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, one portion for Zabulon.

27 To the south of Zebulun's boundary, running from the east side to the west side, will be the land of Gad—one portion.

And by the border of Zabulon, from the east side to the side of the sea, one portion for Gad.

28 The southern boundary of Gad will extend from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, and farther to the brook of Egypt, and then to the Great Sea.

And by the border of Gad, the south side southward: and the border shall be from Thamar, even to the waters of contradiction of Cades, the inheritance over against the great sea.

29 This is the land for which you will cast lots; it will be the inheritance of the tribes of Israel. These will be their portions. This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel: and these are the portions of them, saith the Lord God.

30 These will be the exits from the city: On the north side, which will measure 4,500 cubits in length,

And these are the goings out of the city: on the north side thou shalt measure four thousand and five hundred.

31 will be three gates, named for tribes of Israel: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi.

And the gates of the city according to the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates on the north side, the gate of Ruben one, the gate of Juda one, the gate of Levi one.

32 On the east side, which will measure 4,500 cubits in length, will be three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan.

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

33 On the south side, which is 4,500 cubits in length, will be three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun.

And at the south side, thou shalt measure four thousand and five hundred: and three gates, the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zabulon one.

34 On the west side, which will measure 4,500 cubits, will be three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali.

And at the west side, four thousand and five hundred, and their three gates, the gate of Gad one, the gate of Aser one, the gate of Nephthali one.

35 The distance around the city will be eighteen thousand cubits; from that day on, the city's name will be “Yahweh Is There.”

Its circumference was eighteen thousand: and the name of the city from that day, The Lord is there.
