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 north end by the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus northward toward Hamath; and to him belongeth from the east side to the west side: Dan, one tribe.

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 to the west side: Asher, one tribe.

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

And by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west side: Naphtali, one tribe.

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

And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side: Manasseh, one tribe.

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

And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side: Ephraim, one tribe.

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 to the west side: Reuben, one tribe.

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

And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side: Judah, one tribe.

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 Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other portions from the east side to the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

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 oblation which ye shall offer to Jehovah shall be five and twenty thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

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 the holy oblation shall be for these: for the priests toward the north five and twenty thousand reeds 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 Jehovah 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.

It shall belong to the priests, the sanctified ones, to the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge, who went not astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

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

And it shall belong to them as an oblation out of the oblation of the land, as most holy, 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 over against the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand reeds in length and ten thousand in breadth; the whole length 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 of it; neither shall they exchange or transfer the first fruits of the land; for it is holy to Jehovah.

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.

And the five thousand which are left in breadth, over against the five and twenty thousand in length, shall be common land for the city, for habitation and for suburbs. And the city shall be in the midst of it.

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 this shall be the measure thereof: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and the east side four thousand and five hundred, and 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 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 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 as to the residue in length, over against the holy portion, ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward, over against the holy portion, its increase shall be for food 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 oblation shall be five and twenty thousand reeds by five and twenty thousand; ye shall offer the holy oblation, four-square, together with 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 on both sides of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand to the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand to the west border, by the portions of the tribes, shall be for the prince; and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house 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.

What is left from the possession of the Levites and of the city, which are between what belongs to the prince, between the borders of Judah and Benjamin, shall 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 as for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side: Benjamin, one tribe.

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

And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side: Simeon, one tribe.

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: Issachar, one tribe.

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: Zebulon, one tribe.

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 Zebulon, from the east side to the west side: Gad, one tribe.

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, at the south side southward, shall the border be from Tamar to the waters of strife in Kadesh, even to the river by 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 ye shall divide by lot of the possession among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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 gates of the city. On the north side shall the measure be four thousand five hundred reeds.

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 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 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 on the east side shall be four thousand and five hundred [[reeds]]; and three gates, —one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.

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 on the south side its measure shall be four thousand five hundred; and three gates, —one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulon.

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.

On the west side, four thousand and five hundred; and three gates, —one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

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 measure round about was eighteen thousand reeds. And the name of the city from that day shall be Jehovah-is-there.
