Ezekiel 48
1 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.
2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side,
a portion for Asher.
3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west
side, a portion for Naphtali.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Manasseh.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the
west side, a portion for Reuben.
7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Judah.
8 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.
9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five
and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
10 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.
11 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.
12 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them
a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
13 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.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate
the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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 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.
19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the
tribes of Israel.
20 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.
21 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.
22 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.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west
side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west
side, Simeon shall have a portion.
25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west
side, Issachar a portion.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west
side, Zebulun a portion.
27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west
side, Gad a portion.
28 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.
29 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.
30 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four
thousand and five hundred measures.
31 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 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.
33 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.
34 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.
35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of
the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
