Ezekiel
Chapter 48
1 "Now these are the names of the tribes.
From
the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon,
as
one goes 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 you 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 you shall offer unto Jehovah/God
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 Jehovah/God
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 Jehovah/God. 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
those who serve the city. 19
And
those who 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.
You
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 you shall divide by lot
unto
the tribes of Israel for inheritance,
and
these are their portions," said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.
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 {measures}
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 {measures}
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,
'Y@hovah
shammah'/'Jehovah is there'.
