^48:1 Now these are the names of the tribes: from the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they will have their sides east and west), Dan, one portion. ^48:2And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one portion. ^48:3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one portion. ^48:4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one portion. ^48:5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one portion. ^48:6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one portion. ^48:7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one portion. ^48:8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, will be the heave-offering which you^* will offer: twenty-five thousand measures in breadth and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side. And the sanctuary will be in the midst of it.

    ^48:9 The heave-offering that you^* will offer to Jehovah will be twenty-five thousand measures in length and ten thousand in breadth. ^48:10 And for these, even for the priests, will be the holy heave-offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand in length and toward the west ten thousand in breadth and toward the east ten thousand in breadth and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length. And the sanctuary of Jehovah will be in the midst of it. ^48:11 It will be for the priests who are made holy of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who did not go-astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. ^48:12 And it will be to them an offering from the heave-offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

^48:13 And answerable to the border of the priests, the Levites will have twenty-five thousand in length and ten thousand in breadth. All the length will be twenty-five thousand and the breadth ten thousand.^48:14 And they will sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor will the first-fruits of the land be alienated, for it is holy to Jehovah.

    ^48:15 And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the twenty-five thousand, will be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs. And the city will be in the midst of it. ^48:16And these will be the measures of it: 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 city will have suburbs: 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 the length, answerable to the holy heave-offering, will be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward. And it will be answerable to the holy heave-offering. And the increase of it will be for food to those who labor in the city. ^48:19 And those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, will till it.

    ^48:20 All the heave-offering will be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand. You^* will offer the holy offering four-square, with the possession of the city.

    ^48:21 And the residue will be for the ruler, on the one side and on the other of the holy heave-offering and of the possession of the city, in front of the twenty-five thousand of the heave-offering toward the east border and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions. It will be for the ruler. And the holy heave-offering and the sanctuary of the house will be in the midst of it. ^48:22Moreover from the possession of the Levites and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of what is the ruler's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it will be for the ruler.

    ^48:23 And as for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one portion. ^48:24And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one portion.

    ^48:25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one portion. ^48:26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one portion.

    ^48:27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one portion. ^48:28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border will be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, to the great sea.

    ^48:29 This is the land which you^* will divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for an inheritance and these are their several portions, says the Lord Jehovah.

    ^48:30 And these are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred measures by measure. ^48:31 And the gates of the city will be according to 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 at the east side four thousand and five hundred measures and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one, the gate of Benjamin, one, the gate of Dan, one. ^48:33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures by measure and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one, the gate of Issachar, one, the gate of Zebulun, one.^48:34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred measures, with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one, the gate of Asher, one, the gate of Naphtali, one.

    ^48:35 It will be eighteen thousand measures all around. And the name of the city from that day will be, Jehovah is there.
