Now these
are the names of the tribes. From the north end
to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth
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.
02 And by the border of Dan, from the east side
unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
03 And by the border of Asher, from the east side
even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
04 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east
side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
05 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east
side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
06 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east
side even unto the west side, a portion for
Reuben.
07 And by the border of Reuben, from the east
side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
08 And by the border of Judah, from the east side
unto 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 unto the west side: and
the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
09 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the Lord
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 the Lord 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 the Lord.
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 them that serve the city.
19 And they that 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: ye 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 ye shall divide by lot
unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and
these are their portions, saith the Lord God.
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: 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, 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,
The Lord is there.
