Ezekiel 48
|
1 |
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, Ha'zar-e'nan, 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 Naph'tali.
|
4 |
And by the border of Naph'tali, from the
east side unto the west side, a portion for Manas'seh.
|
5 |
And by the border of Manas'seh, from the
east side unto the west side, a portion for E'phra-im.
|
6 |
And by the border of E'phra-im, 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 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.
|
9 |
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, Is'sachar a portion.
|
26 |
And by the border of Is'sachar, from the
east side unto the west side, Zeb'ulun a portion.
|
27 |
And by the border of Zeb'ulun, 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 Is'sachar, one gate of Zeb'ulun.
|
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 Naph'tali. Rev. 21.12, 13
|
35 |
It was round about eighteen
thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
