1"And these are the names of the tribes. From the north end, at the hand of the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus northward, at the hand of Hamath. And there shall be to it an east side and a west: one part for Dan. 2And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, one part for Asher. 3And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, one part for Naphtali. 4And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, one part for Manasseh. 5And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, one part for Ephraim. 6And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, one part for Reuben. 7And by the border of Reuben from the east side to the west side, one part for Judah. 8And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the heave offering which you shall offer: twenty-five thousand cubits wide and long, as one of the parts, from the east side to the west side. And the sanctuary shall be in its middle. 9The heave offering that you shall offer to the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand cubits long, and ten thousand cubits wide. 10And for these shall be the holy heave offering for the priests; northward, twenty-five thousand; and westward ten thousand wide; and eastward ten thousand wide, and southward twenty-five thousand long. And the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the middle of it, 11For the priests who are sanctified, of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 12And the heave offering shall be theirs, from the heave offering of the land, the holiest of the holy places, by the border of the Levites. 13And the Levites shall have alongside the border of the priests twenty-five thousand cubits long, and ten thousand wide. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the width ten thousand. 14And they shall not sell any of it, nor trade it, nor cause the firstfruits of the land to pass away. For it is holy to the LORD 15And the five thousand that are left in the width in front of the twenty-five thousand shall be common for the city, for dwelling and for open land. And the city shall be in its midst. 16And these shall be its measures: 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. 17And the open land 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. 18And the rest in length alongside the heave offering of the holy parts shall be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward. And it shall be alongside the heave offering of the holy part. And its produce shall be for food to those who serve the city. 19And he who serves the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. 20All the heave offering shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand, four-square. You shall offer the holy heave offering to the possession of the city. 21And the rest shall be for the prince, on this side, and on that side of the holy heave offering, and of the possession of the city, in the front of the twenty-five thousand of the heave offering to the east border, and westward in the front of the twenty-five thousand to the west border, alongside the lots for the prince. And it shall be the holy heave offering. And the sanctuary of the house shall be in her midst. 22And to the prince shall be from the possessions of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, amidst that for the prince; between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince. 23And the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one part. 24And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one part. 25And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one part. 26And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one part. 27And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one part. 28And by the border of Gad, at the south side, southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth Kadesh, and to the river toward the Great Sea. 29This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their parts," says the Lord GOD. 30"And these are the exits of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures. 31And the gates of the city shall be by the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward, one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi. 32And 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. 33And the south side, four thousand and five hundred measures, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one. 34The 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. 35All around it shall be eighteen thousand cubits. And the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD There."
