¹And these are the names of the tribes, from the northern extremity at the course of the road to Hethlon, at the approach to Hamath and to Hazar-Enan and to the border of Damascus in the north, to the side of Hamath. Now Dan will have – from east to west – one section. ²And at the border with Dan, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Asher. ³And at the border with Asher, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Naphtali. ⁴And at the border with Naphtali, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Manasseh. ⁵And at the border with Manasseh, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Ephraim. ⁶And at the border with Ephraim, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Reuben. ⁷And at the border with Reuben, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Judah. ⁸And at the border with Judah, from the eastern side to the western side, there will be the section for the heave-offering which you shall make. It is twenty-five thousand units in width, and its length is the same as each of the sections from the eastern side to the western side, and the sanctuary will be in the middle of it. ⁹The heave-offering section which you shall make to the Lord is of length twenty-five thousand units, and its width is ten thousand units. ¹⁰And it is for these that the holy heave-offering section is: the priests. To the north it is twenty-five thousand units long, and to the west its width is ten thousand units, and to the east its width is ten thousand units, and to the south its length is twenty-five thousand units, and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the middle of it. ¹¹It is for the priests, who are sanctified, from the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as when the Levites went astray. ¹²And they will have the heave-offering section on account of the heave-offering of the land as a holy of holies, extending to the border of the Levites. ¹³And the Levites will be adjoining the border of the priests in a region twenty-five thousand units in length and ten thousand units in width. The whole length is twenty-five thousand units and the width is ten thousand units. ¹⁴And they shall not sell any of it, nor exchange it, nor shall anyone remove the firstfruits of the land, for they are holy to the Lord. ¹⁵And the five thousand units which remain in the width out of the twenty-five thousand units is to be secular for the city, as a residential area and as common land, and the city will be in the middle of it. ¹⁶And these are the dimensions of the city. The northern side is four thousand five hundred units long, and the southern side is four thousand five hundred units long, and on the eastern side it is four thousand five hundred units wide, and the western side is four thousand five hundred units wide. ¹⁷And there will be common land belonging to the city to the north, two hundred and fifty units long, and to the south, two hundred and fifty units long, and to the east, two hundred and fifty units wide, and to the west, two hundred and fifty units wide. ¹⁸And the rest of the length appertaining to the holy heave-offering section is ten thousand units to the east, and ten thousand units to the west, and it appertains to the holy heave-offering section. And its produce shall be food for the workers in the city. ¹⁹And as for the workers in the city, they shall be from every tribe of Israel doing work in it. ²⁰The whole heave-offering section is twenty-five thousand units long by twenty-five thousand units. You shall offer the holy heave-offering in a square within the territory of the city. ²¹And the remainder is for the prince, on each side of the holy heave-offering section. And as for the territory of the city, alongside the twenty-five thousand units width of the heave-offering section to the border on the east, and to the west, alongside the twenty-five thousand units width to the border on the west, it appertains to the prince's apportionments. So it will be a holy heave-offering section, and the sanctuary of the house will be in the middle of it. ²²So part of the territory of the Levites and part of the territory of the city will be enclosed by what belongs to the prince. The remainder of the section between the border with Judah and the border with Benjamin will be for the prince. ²³As for the rest of the tribes, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Benjamin. ²⁴And at the border with Benjamin, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Simeon. ²⁵And at the border with Simeon, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Issachar. ²⁶And at the border with Issachar, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Zebulun. ²⁷And at the border with Zebulun, from the eastern side to the western side, there is one section for Gad. ²⁸And as for the border with Gad, on the southern side, the border shall be from Tamar to the water of Meribah of Kadesh, and to the torrent going to the Great Sea. ²⁹This is the land which you will allocate by lot to the tribes of Israel according to their inheritance, and these are their apportionments, says the Lord, the Lord. ³⁰And these are the city exits. Along the north side, which is four thousand five hundred units in length ³¹– for the gates of the city are according to the names of the tribes of Israel – three gates in the north: one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi; ³²and on the eastern side, which is four thousand five hundred units in width, with three gates: with one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan; ³³and on southern side, which is four thousand five hundred units in length, with three gates: one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun; ³⁴and on the western side, which is four thousand five hundred units in width, three gates: one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali. ³⁵The perimeter is eighteen thousand units, and the name of the city from that day shall be the Lord Is There.’ ”
