Ezekiel 48

1, 23 The portions of the twelve tribes, 8 of the sanctuary, 15 of the city and suburbs, 21 and of the prince. 30 The dimensions and gates of the city.

 48:1 ¶ Now, these, are the names of the tribes,—At the northern, extremity, beside the Hethlon road—as one entereth Hamath, Hazar-enan the boundary of Damascus northwards by the side of Hamath, and so they shall be his as east side and west—Dan, one.

 48:2 And, on the boundary of Dan, from the east side unto the west side,—Asher, one.

 48:3 And, on the boundary of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side,—Naphtali, one.

 48:4 And, on the boundary of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side,—Manasseh, one.

 48:5 And, on the boundary of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side,—Ephraim, one.

 48:6 And, on the boundary of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, Reuben, one.

 48:7 And, on the boundary of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side,—Judah, one.

 48:8 And, on the boundary of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the heave-offering which ye shall offer up, five and twenty thousand in breadth, and, in length, like one of the portions, from the east side unto the west side, so shall the sanctuary be in the midst thereof.

 48:9 the heave-offering which ye shall offer up to Yahweh, shall be, in length, five and twenty thousand, and, in breadth, twenty thousand.

 48:10 And, pertaining to these, shall he the holy offering, even for the priests, northwards, five and twenty thousand, and, westward, a breadth of ten thousand, and, eastward, a breadth of ten thousand, and, southward, a length of five and twenty thousand,—so shall the sanctuary of Yahweh be in the midst thereof:—

 48:11 for the priests that are hallowed—the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge,—who went not astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as, the Levites, went astray.

 48:12 So then they shall have an offering out of the offering of the land, a holy of holies,—toward the boundary of the Levites;

 48:13 the Levites, boundary answering to the boundary of the priests, five and twenty thousand in length, and, in breadth, ten thousand,—all the length, five and twenty thousand, and, the breadth, twenty thousand.

 48:14 And they shall not sell thereof, nor shall one exchange or alienate the firstfruits of the land,—for it is holy unto Yahweh.

 48:15 And, the five thousand that are left in the breadth, facing the five and twenty thousand, common, shall it, be to the city, for dwelling and for open space,—and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

 48:16 These, moreover, shall be the measures thereof—the north side, four thousand and five hundred, and, the south side, four thousand and five hundred,—and, the east side, four thousand and five hundred, and, the west side, four thousand and five hundred.

 48:17 And the open space of the city shall be, northward, two hundred and fifty, and, southward, two hundred and fifty,—and, eastward, two hundred and fifty, and, westward, two hundred and fifty.

 48:18 And, the residue, in length answering to the offering of the holy portion, shall be ten thousand on the east, and ten thousand on the west, so shall it answer to the offering of the holy portion,—and the increase thereof shall be for food, for them who serve the city.

 48:19 And they who serve the city, shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

 48:20 All the offering, shall be five and twenty thousand, by five and twenty thousand,—foursquare, shall ye offer up the offering of the holy portion, towards the possession of the city.

 48:21 And, the residue, shall be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, facing the five and twenty thousand of the offering, as far as the east boundary, and, westward, facing the five and twenty thousand by the west boundary, answering to the portions, for the prince,—thus shall it be the holy offering, with, the sanctuary of the house, in the midst thereof.

 48:22 And, out of the possession of the Levites, and out of the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is for the prince, shall it be: between the boundary of Judah, and the boundary of Benjamin, for the prince, shall it be.

 48:23 And, the residue of the tribes,—from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin, one.

 48:24 And, on the boundary of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon, one.

 48:25 And, on the boundary of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar, one.

 48:26 And, on the boundary of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun, one.

 48:27 And, on the boundary of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad, one.

 48:28 And, on the boundary of Gad, by the south side southward,—so shall there be a boundary from Tamar [unto] the waters of Meribath-kadish, towards the torrent-bed, as far as the great sea.

 48:29 This, is the land which ye shall divide by lot for inheritance, to the tribes of Israel,—and, these, shall be their portions, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh,

 48:30 And, these, are the exits of the city,—on the north side, four thousand five hundred measures.

 48:31 ¶ And, the gates of the city, shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates, northward,—the gate of Reuben, one, the gate of Judah, one, the gate of Levi, one;

 48:32 and, on the east side, four thousand and five hundred, with three gates,—even, the gate of Joseph, one, the gate of Benjamin, one, the gate of Dan, one;

 48:33 and, on the south side, four thousand and five hundred in measure, with three gates,—the gate of Simeon, one, the gate of Issachar, one, the gate of Zebulun, one;

 48:34 on the west side, four thousand and five hundred, their gates, three,—the gate of Gad, one, the gate of Asher, one, the gate of Naphtali, one.

 48:35 Round about, eighteen thousand. And, the name of the city, from the day of Yahweh, shall [continue to] be the name thereof.
