The
Division of the Land
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.
48:2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the
west side, a portion for Asher.
48:3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even
unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
48:4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto
the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
48:5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto
the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
48:6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even
unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.
48:7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto
the west side, a portion for Judah.
48:8 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.
48:9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall
be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten
thousand in breadth.
48:10 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.
48:11 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.
48:12 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall
be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
48:13 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.
48:14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor
alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto
the LORD.
48:15 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.
48:16 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.
48:17 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.
48:18 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.
48:19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of
all the tribes of Israel.
48:20 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.
48:21 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.
48:22 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.
48:23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side
unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
48:24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side
unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
48:25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto
the west side, Issachar a portion.
48:26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side
unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
48:27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto
the west side, Gad a portion.
48:28 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.
48:29 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.
The Gates of the New
City
48:30 And these are the goings out of the city on the north
side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
48:31 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.
48:32 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.
48:33 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.
48:34 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.
48:35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and
the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is
there. |
