Bordering
the territory

be the portion
you
are
to
set
apart.
It
will
be
25,000
cubits
wide
, and the
length of a
tribal
portion
from east to
west .
In
the center
will
be the sanctuary
.
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
.
The special
portion
you
set
apart
to
the LORD shall be 25,000
cubits
long
and 10
, 000
cubits
wide
.
The oblation
that
ye
shall
offer
unto
the LORD shall be of
five
and twenty
thousand
in
length
, and
of
ten
thousand
in

.
This
will
be
the
holy
portion
for the priests .
It
will
be
25
, 000
cubits
long
on
the north side,
10
, 000
cubits
wide
on
the west side,
10
, 000
cubits
wide
on
the east side
, and 25,000
cubits
long
on
the south side.
In the
center
will
be
the sanctuary of the LORD.
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
.
It will
be for the consecrated
priests ,
the descendants
of Zadok ,
who
kept My charge and
did
not go
astray as the Levites did
when
the
Israelites
went astray.
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.
It
will
be
a
special
portion
for
them
set
apart
from
the land ,
a most holy portion
adjacent
to
the territory
of the Levites.
And
this
oblation
of
the land that
is
offered
shall
be
unto
them
a thing
most holy by
the border
of the Levites.
Bordering
the territory
of the priests ,
the Levites shall have an
area
25,000
cubits
long
and 10
, 000
cubits
wide.
The whole
length will
be 25,000
cubits
, and the width
10,000
cubits
.
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
.
They must
not sell or
exchange
any
of it, and
they
must
not
transfer
this
best
part
of the land ,
for it is holy to
the LORD.
And
they shall
not sell of it, neither
exchange,
nor
alienate
the
firstfruits
of the land :
for it is holy unto
the LORD.
The remaining
area,
5
, 000
cubits
wide
and 25,000
cubits
long
, will
be for common
use
by
the city, for houses
, and for pastureland.
The city will
be in the center
of
it
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.
and will
have
these measurements:
4,500
cubits
on
the north side ,
4
, 500
cubits
on
the south side ,
4
, 500
cubits
on the east side ,
and 4
, 500
cubits
on
the west side.
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
.
The pastureland
of the city will
extend
250
cubits
to
the north, 250
cubits
to
the south, 250
cubits
to
the east, and 250
cubits
to
the west.
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
.
The
remainder
of
the length bordering
the holy portion and running
adjacent
to
it will
be 10,000
cubits
on
the east
side
and 10,000
cubits
on
the west
side.
Its
produce
will
supply
food
for the
workers
of
the city.
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.
The
workers
of
the city who
cultivate
it will
come
from
all the tribes of Israel.
And
they
that
serve
the city shall
serve
it out
of
all the tribes of Israel.
The entire
portion
will
be a
square,
25,000
cubits
by 25,000
cubits.
You
are
to
set
apart
the holy portion
, along
with the city property
.
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.
The remaining
area
on both
sides
of the holy portion
and of the property
of the city will
belong
to
the
prince.
He
will
own
the
land
adjacent
to
the
tribal
portions
, extending
eastward
from
the 25,000
cubits
of the holy
district
toward the eastern
border, and westward from
the 25,000
cubits
to
the western
border .
And
in
the center
of
them
will
be the holy portion
and the sanctuary of the temple
.
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
.
So
the Levitical
property
and the city property
will
lie
in the center
of the
area
belonging
to
the
prince—
the area
between the borders
of Judah and Benjamin.
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
.
As for the rest of the tribes :
Benjamin
will
have
one
portion
extending
from the east side to
the west side.
As for the rest of the tribes ,
from the east side unto
the west side ,
Benjamin
shall
have
a
portion
.
Simeon
will
have
one
portion
bordering
the territory
of Benjamin from east to
west.
And
by
the border
of Benjamin ,
from the
east side
unto
the
west side,
Simeon
shall
have
a
portion
.
Issachar
will
have
one
portion
bordering
the territory
of Simeon from east to
west.
And
by
the border
of Simeon ,
from the
east side
unto
the
west side,
Issachar
a
portion
.
Zebulun
will
have
one
portion
bordering
the territory
of Issachar from east to
west.
And
by
the border
of Issachar ,
from the
east side
unto
the
west side,
Zebulun
a
portion
.
And Gad
will
have
one
portion
bordering
the territory
of Zebulun from east to
west.
And by
the border
of Zebulun ,
from the
east side
unto
the
west side,
Gad
a
portion
.
The southern
border of Gad will
run
from Tamar to
the waters of Meribath-
kadesh, then
along
the
Brook
of
Egypt
and out
to the Great Sea.
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.
This is the land you
are
to
allot
as
an
inheritance
to
the tribes of Israel, and these will
be
their portions, ”
declares
the Lord GOD.
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.
“
These will

4,500
cubits
long,
And
these are
the goings
out
of the city on the north side, four
thousand
and

the gates of the city will
be named
after the tribes of Israel .
On
the
north
side
there
will
be
three gates :
the

the
tribes of Israel :
three gates northward;
one

gate of Levi.
On

which
will
be
