*
Now these are the names of the tribes :
At the edge ,
on the north side ,
along the road on the way to Chethlon ,
as far as Chamath ,
Chazar
enan ,
the boundary of Damascus northward ,
alongside of Chamath ,
there shall be from the east side to the west for Dan one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Dan ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Asher one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Asher ,
from the east side even unto the west side ,
for Naphtali one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Naphtali ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Menasseh one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Menasseh ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Ephraim one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Ephraim ,
from the east side even unto the west side ,
for Reuben one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Reuben ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Judah one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Judah ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
shall be the oblation which ye shall set aside of five and twenty thousand rods in breadth ,
and in length as one of the other parts ,
from the east side unto the west side :
and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it .
*
The oblation that ye shall set aside unto the Lord shall be in length five and twenty thousand ,
and in breadth ten thousand .
*
And to these shall belong the holy oblation ,
namely to the priests ,
toward the north ,
five and twenty thousand rods ,
and on the west ten thousand in breadth ,
and on the east ten thousand in breadth ,
and on the south five and twenty thousand in length :
and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst of it .
*
Unto the priests ,
that are sanctified ,
of the sons of Zadok ,
who have kept my charge ,
who went not astray when the children of Israel went astray ,
as the Levites went astray .
*
To them shall thus belong the portion set aside of the oblation of the land as a most holy thing by the boundary of the Levites .
*
And the Levites shall have alongside the boundary of the priests five and twenty thousand rods in length ,
and in breadth ten thousand ;
the whole in length five and twenty thousand ,
and in breadth ten thousand .
*
But they shall not sell aught thereof ,
or exchange ,
or alienate this first portion of the land ;
for it is holy unto the Lord .
*
And the five thousand rods ,
that are left in the breadth ,
with a length of five and twenty thousand ,
shall be an unconsecrated land for the city ,
for dwelling ,
and for an open space :
and the city shall be in the midst thereof .
*
And these shall be its measures :
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 the open space 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 .
*
And the produce of the residue in length alongside the holy oblation ten thousand rods eastward ,
and ten thousand westward ,
that which is alongside the holy oblation ,
shall be for food unto the laborers of the city .
*
And the laborers of the city ,
men taken out of all the tribes of Israel ,
shall till it .
*
All the oblation ,
five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand square ,
shall ye set apart as the holy oblation ,
with the possession of the city .
*
And the residue shall belong to the prince ,
on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation ,
and of the possession of the city ,
alongside of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the eastern boundary ,
and westward alongside the five and twenty thousand toward the western boundary ,
alongside the portions ;
for the prince :
and so shall be the holy oblation ;
and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof .
*
And both the possession of the Levites ,
and the possession of the city ,
shall be in the midst of that which belongeth to the prince :
between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin ,
shall be for the prince .
*
As for the rest of the tribes ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
shall be for Benjamin one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Benjamin ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Simeon one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Simeon ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Issachar one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Issachar ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Zebulun one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Zebulun ,
from the east side unto the west side ,
for Gad one portion .
*
And by the boundary of Gad ,
on the southern side toward the south ,
shall be the boundary from Thamar unto the waters of contention of Kadesh ,
unto the brook by the Great Sea .
*
This is the land which ye shall divide by lot for an inheritance to the tribes of Israel ,
and these are their allotted divisions ,
saith the Lord Eternal .
*
And these are the outlines of the city :
On the north side ,
five hundred and four thousand rods ,
by the measure .
*
And of the gates of the city ,
being after the names of the tribes of Israel ,
shall be three gates on the north :
the gate of Reuben one ,
the gate of Judah one ,
the gate of Levi one .
*
And on the east side ,
five hundred and four thousand rods ,
with three gates :
namely ,
the gate of Joseph one ,
the gate of Benjamin one ,
the gate of Dan one .
*
And the south side ,
five hundred and four thousand rode by the measure ,
with three gates :
the gate of Simeon one ,
the gate of Issachar one ,
the gate of Zebulun one .
*
The west side ,
five hundred and four thousand rods ,
with their three gates :
the gate of Gad one ,
the gate of Asher one ,
the gate of Naphtali one .
*
All around it shall be eighteen thousand rods :
and the name of the city shall be from that day "
The Lord is there ."
