* "Now these are the names of the tribes : From the northern border along the road to Hethlon at the entrance of Hamath , to Hazar Enan , the border of Damascus northward , in the direction of Hamath , there shall be one section for Dan from its east to its west side ; * by the border of Dan , from the east side to the west , one section for Asher ; * by the border of Asher , from the east side to the west , one section for Naphtali ; * by the border of Naphtali , from the east side to the west , one section for Manasseh ; * by the border of Manasseh , from the east side to the west , one section for Ephraim ; * by the border of Ephraim , from the east side to the west , one section for Reuben ; * by the border of Reuben , from the east side to the west , one section for Judah ; * by the border of Judah , from the east side to the west , shall be the district which you shall set apart , twenty-five thousand cubits in width , and in length the same as one of the other portions , from the east side to the west , with the sanctuary in the center . * "The district that you shall set apart for the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width . * To these--to the priests--the holy district shall belong : on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length , on the west ten thousand in width , on the east ten thousand in width , and on the south twenty-five thousand in length . The sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the center . * It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok , who are sanctified , who have kept My charge , who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray , as the Levites went astray . * And this district of land that is set apart shall be to them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites . * "Opposite the border of the priests , the Levites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width ; its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand . * And they shall not sell or exchange any of it ; they may not alienate this best part of the land , for it is holy to the LORD . * "The five thousand cubits in width that remain , along the edge of the twenty-five thousand , shall be for general use by the city , for dwellings and common-land ; and the city shall be in the center . * These shall be its measurements : the north side four thousand five hundred cubits , the south side four thousand five hundred , the east side four thousand five hundred , and the west side four thousand five hundred . * The common-land of the city shall be : to the north two hundred and fifty cubits , to the south two hundred and fifty , to the east two hundred and fifty , and to the west two hundred and fifty . * The rest of the length , alongside the district of the holy section , shall be ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west . It shall be adjacent to the district of the holy section , and its produce shall be food for the workers of the city . * The workers of the city , from all the tribes of Israel , shall cultivate it . * The entire district shall be twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits , foursquare . You shall set apart the holy district with the property of the city . * "The rest shall belong to the prince , on one side and on the other of the holy district and of the city 's property , next to the twenty-five thousand cubits of the holy district as far as the eastern border , and westward next to the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border , adjacent to the tribal portions ; it shall belong to the prince . It shall be the holy district , and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in the center . * Moreover , apart from the possession of the Levites and the possession of the city which are in the midst of what belongs to the prince , the area between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall belong to the prince . * "As for the rest of the tribes , from the east side to the west , Benjamin shall have one section ; * by the border of Benjamin , from the east side to the west , Simeon shall have one section ; * by the border of Simeon , from the east side to the west , Issachar shall have one section ; * by the border of Issachar , from the east side to the west , Zebulun shall have one section ; * by the border of Zebulun , from the east side to the west , Gad shall have one section ; * by the border of Gad , on the south side , toward the South , the border shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribah by Kadesh , along the brook to the Great Sea . * This is the land which you shall divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel , and these are their portions ," says the Lord GOD . * "These are the exits of the city . On the north side , measuring four thousand five hundred cubits * (the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel ), the three gates northward : one gate for Reuben , one gate for Judah , and one gate for Levi ; * on the east side , four thousand five hundred cubits , three gates : one gate for Joseph , one gate for Benjamin , and one gate for Dan ; * on the south side , measuring four thousand five hundred cubits , three gates : one gate for Simeon , one gate for Issachar , and one gate for Zebulun ; * on the west side , four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates : one gate for Gad , one gate for Asher , and one gate for Naphtali . * All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits ; and the name of the city from that day shall be : THE LORD IS THERE ."
