48:1 Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end
to the border of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath,
Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the limit 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 to the west
side, a [portion for] Asher.
48:3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the
west side, a [portion for] Naphtali.
48:4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the
west side, a [portion for] Manasseh.
48:5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the
west side, a [portion for] Ephraim.
48:6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to
the west side, a [portion for] Reuben.
48:7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west
side, a [portion for] Judah.
48:8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side to 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 to the west side: and the
sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
48:9 The oblation that ye shall offer to 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; towards the north five and twenty thousand [in
length], and towards the west ten thousand in breadth, and
towards the east ten thousand in breadth, and towards the south
five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the
LORD shall be in the midst of it.
48:11 [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the
sons of Zadok; who have kept my charge, who 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
to 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 first-fruits of the land: for [it is] holy to 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 of it.
48:16 And these [shall 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 suburbs of the city shall be towards the north two
hundred and fifty, and towards the south two hundred and fifty,
and towards the east two hundred and fifty, and towards 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 its increase shall be for food to 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 towards the east border, and westward over against the
five and twenty thousand towards 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 of it.
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 to the
west side, Benjamin [shall have] a [portion].
48:24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the
west side, Simeon [shall have] a [portion].
48:25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the
west side, Issachar a [portion].
48:26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the
west side, Zebulun a [portion].
48:27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to 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 [to] the waters of strife [in]
Kadesh, [and] to the river towards the great sea.
48:29 This [is] the land which ye shall divide by lot to the
tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these [are] their
portions, saith the Lord GOD.
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; 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 And 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 The circuit [was] eighteen thousand [measures]: and the
name of the city from [that] day [shall be], The LORD [is]
there.
