Now these are the names of the tribes
. From the north
end
to the coast
of the way
of Hethlon
, as one goeth
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
.
And by the border of Dan
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, a
portion for Asher
.
And by the border of Asher
, from the east
side
even unto the west
side
, a
portion for Naphtali
.
And by the border of Naphtali
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, a
portion for Manasseh
.
And by the border of Manasseh
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, a
portion for Ephraim
.
And by the border of Ephraim
, from the east
side
even unto the west
side
, a
portion for Reuben
.
And by the border of Reuben
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, a
portion for Judah
.
And by the border of Judah
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, shall be the offering
which ye shall offer
of five
and twenty
thousand
reeds 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 offer
unto the LORD
shall be of five
and twenty
thousand
in length
, and of ten
thousand
in breadth
.
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 midst
thereof.
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
.
And this oblation of the land
that is offered
shall be unto them a thing most
holy
by the border
of the Levites
.
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
.
And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange
, nor alienate
the firstfruits
of the land
: for it is holy
unto the LORD
.
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 midst
thereof.
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
.
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
.
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
unto them that serve
the city
.
And they that serve the city
shall serve
it out of all the tribes
of Israel
.
All the oblation shall be five
and twenty
thousand
by five
and twenty
thousand
: ye shall offer
the holy
oblation
foursquare
, with the possession
of the city
.
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 midst
thereof.
Moreover from the possession of the Levites
, and from the possession
of the city
, being in the midst
of that which is the prince's
, between the border
of Judah
and the border
of Benjamin
, shall be for the prince
.
As for the rest of the tribes
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, Benjamin
shall have a
portion .
And by the border of Benjamin
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, Simeon
shall have a
portion .
And by the border of Simeon
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, Issachar
a
portion .
And by the border of Issachar
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, Zebulun
a
portion .
And by the border of Zebulun
, from the east
side
unto the west
side
, Gad
a
portion .
And by the border of Gad
, at the south
side
southward
, the border
shall be even from Tamar
unto the waters
of strife
in Kadesh
, and to the river
toward the great
sea
.
This is the land which ye shall divide
by lot unto the tribes
of Israel
for inheritance
, and these are their portions
, saith
the Lord
GOD
.
And these are the goings out of the city
on the north
side
, four
thousand
and five
hundred
measures
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
It was round about eighteen
thousand
measures : and the name
of the city
from that day
shall be , The LORD is there
.
