君王，利未人和祭司
44 那人又把我带到圣殿外院的东门，门关闭着。 2 耶和华对我说：“这门必须关闭，不可打开。没有人能从这门进入，因为以色列的上帝耶和华已从这门进入，所以这门必须关闭。 3 只有君王可以坐在里面，在耶和华面前进食。他要从门廊进入，也要从原路出去。”
4 他带我从北门来到殿前，我看见耶和华的荣光充满了祂的殿，我就俯伏在地。 5 耶和华对我说：“人子啊，你要认真看，仔细听我讲有关圣殿的一切规矩和法则，记住所有的出入口。 6 然后告诉那些叛逆的以色列人，‘主耶和华这样说，以色列人啊，你们行可憎的事，该够了吧！ 7 你们献上食物、脂肪和血的同时，竟将那些身心未受割礼的外族人领进我的圣所，亵渎我的殿，破坏我的约，使你们罪上加罪。 8 你们自己不管理我的圣物，却把我的圣所给外人治理。
9 “‘因此，主耶和华说，以色列人中身心未受割礼的外族人不可进入我的圣所。
10 “‘以色列人走入歧途时，有些利未人也远离我、追随偶像，他们必须承担自己犯罪的后果。 11 然而，他们仍要在我的圣殿供职，看管殿门，为百姓屠宰燔祭牲和其他祭牲，服侍他们。 12 因为利未人带动以色列人拜偶像，使以色列人陷入罪中，所以我起誓，他们必承担自己犯罪的后果。这是主耶和华说的。 13 他们不得走近我，不可做我的祭司，也不得走近我的圣物或至圣之物，他们必因自己的可憎行径蒙羞。 14 然而，我要委派他们管理圣殿，办理殿中所有的事务。
15 “‘以色列人走入歧途时，利未人撒督的子孙仍然在我的圣所尽忠职守，因此他们可以接近我、事奉我，侍立在我面前，献上脂肪和祭牲的血。这是主耶和华说的。 16 只有他们可以进入我的圣所，在我的桌前事奉我，遵行我的吩咐。 17 他们从内院的门进入殿内供职的时候，要穿细麻布衣服，不可穿羊毛衣服。 18 他们要戴细麻布头巾，穿细麻布裤子，不可穿使人容易出汗的衣服。 19 他们出去外院见百姓的时候，必须脱下供职时穿的衣服，放在圣屋，穿上普通的衣服后再出去，免得通过圣衣把圣洁带到百姓身上。 20 他们不可剃光头，也不可留长头发，只可修剪头发。 21 祭司进入内院之前，不可喝酒。 22 他们不可娶寡妇或被休的妇女为妻，只能娶以色列的处女或祭司的遗孀。 23 他们要教导我的子民辨别圣与俗，洁净与不洁净。 24 他们要审理诉讼之事，按我的律例断是非。他们必须按我定的律例和法度遵守一切节期，守安息日为圣日。 25 他们不可走近死尸，免得玷污自己，除非死者是自己的父母、子女、弟兄或未出嫁的姊妹。 26 祭司得到洁净后，要再等七天。 27 他进入内院的圣所事奉时，要为自己献上赎罪祭，这是主耶和华说的。
28 “‘祭司不可在以色列拥有自己的产业，因为我就是他们的产业。 29 他们的食物是以色列人献上的素祭、赎罪祭和赎过祭。凡献给耶和华的都归他们， 30 各种初熟的出产和各种供物都应归给祭司。你们将初熟的麦子磨成面给祭司，福气就必临到你们的家。 31 无论是自然死亡的，还是被其他野兽咬死的禽兽，祭司都不可吃。
划分圣地
45 “‘当你们抽签把土地分给以色列各支派作产业的时候，要分出一块献给耶和华作圣地。圣地要长十二点五公里，宽十公里，整块地都要圣洁。 2 你们要在其中分出一块长宽各二百五十米的地建圣殿。殿的周围要有二十五米宽的空地。 3 圣地当中要量一块长十二点五公里、宽五公里的地，其中要有圣所，是最圣洁的地方。 4 这块圣地应归那些在圣所中事奉耶和华的祭司，作为他们的居所和建圣所之用。 5 另一块十二点五公里长、五公里宽的土地给那些在圣殿工作的利未人居住，作他们的产业[a]。
6 “‘在圣地旁边要分出一块十二点五公里长、二点五公里宽的地建城，以色列人都可以到那里居住。
7 “‘在圣地和城的东西两边是给君王的土地，西到地中海，东到约旦河，从西到东长度与一个支派所得的土地一样。 8 这地方要作君王在以色列的产业。我的君王必不再欺压我的子民，而是按支派把地分给他们。
9 “‘主耶和华说，你们这些以色列的君王啊，够了！你们应当放弃暴行和抢掠，按公平和正义行事，不要再向我的子民横征暴敛了！这是主耶和华说的。 10 你们要用公道的天平、伊法和罢特。 11 贺梅珥[b]是标准的容量单位，量固体的伊法[c]是十分之一贺梅珥，量液体的罢特也是十分之一贺梅珥。 12 舍客勒[d]是标准的重量单位，一舍客勒是二十季拉。六十舍客勒等于一弥那。
13 “‘以下是你们应当献的供物，每一贺梅珥小麦要献上六分之一伊法，每一贺梅珥大麦也要献上六分之一伊法。 14 每一柯珥的油要献十分之一罢特，一柯珥等于十罢特或一贺梅珥，因为一贺梅珥等于十罢特。 15 在以色列肥美的草场上，每二百只羊便要献上一只。这些供物用来作素祭、燔祭和平安祭，为以色列人赎罪。这是主耶和华说的。 16 所有的以色列人都要这样拿供物来献给君王。 17 君王要在节期、朔日[e]、安息日等以色列人一切的节期献上燔祭、素祭和奠祭。他要预备赎罪祭、素祭、燔祭和平安祭的祭物，为以色列人赎罪。
18 “‘主耶和华说，一月初一，你要献一只毫无残疾的公牛犊，洁净圣所。 19 祭司要取些赎罪祭牲的血抹在圣殿的门柱、祭台的四角和内院门口的柱子上。 20 到了一月七日，要同样为一切在无意和无知中犯罪的人赎罪，使圣殿保持洁净。
21 “‘一月十四日，你们要守逾越节七天，节期间要吃无酵饼。 22 在逾越节当天，君王要预备一头公牛为自己和百姓作赎罪祭。 23 在七天的节期间，他要每天预备毫无残疾的公牛七头、公绵羊七只作燔祭，公山羊一只作赎罪祭。 24 他要预备细面粉和油作素祭与牛羊一同献上。每头公牛或公绵羊要同献十公斤细面粉和四升油。 25 在七月十五日开始一连七天的住棚节期间，君王也要供应同样的赎罪祭、燔祭、素祭和油。’
君王与节期
46 “主耶和华说，‘圣殿内院的东门在平时工作的六日内都要关闭，只在安息日和朔日才打开。 2 在这些日子，君王要从东门穿过门廊通道进入内院，站在门框旁边。祭司要为他献燔祭和平安祭。他在入口的门槛那里敬拜，然后离去。这门要到晚上才关闭。 3 在安息日和朔日，以色列人要站在这门口敬拜耶和华。 4 君王在安息日献给耶和华的燔祭应是羊羔六只、公绵羊一只，都要毫无残疾。 5 至于同献的素祭，一只公绵羊要同献十公斤细面粉，与羊羔同献的素祭则可随意奉献。每十公斤细面粉要加四升油。 6 要在朔日献公牛犊一头、羊羔六只、公绵羊一只，都要毫无残疾。 7 他也要预备素祭，每一头公牛犊要同献十公斤细面粉，公绵羊也是一样。与羊羔同献的素祭则可随意奉献。每十公斤细面粉要加四升油。 8 君王从门廊进去，也要从原路出来。
9 “‘以色列人在节期进去敬拜耶和华的时候，从北门进去的要从南门出来，从南门进去的要从北门出来。谁都不可回头从进去的门出来，必须从对面的门出来。 10 在这些节期君王应和百姓一同进殿敬拜，百姓离开的时候，君王也要一同离开。
11 “‘每逢节期和特定的圣会，要有与祭牲同献的素祭，每头公牛献十公斤细面粉，公绵羊也是一样，与羊羔同献的素祭则可以随意奉献。每十公斤细面粉要加四升油。 12 倘若君王自愿向耶和华献燔祭或平安祭，便要为他打开东门。他献的燔祭或平安祭要与安息日所献的一样。他献完后就从东门出去，门也跟着关闭。
13 “‘每天早晨，你们要献给耶和华一只毫无残疾的一岁羊羔为燔祭， 14 同献的素祭是一点七公斤细面粉，调上一点三升油。献给耶和华的这种素祭是永久不变的律例。 15 所以，每天早晨都要预备羊羔、素祭和油，作为日常献的燔祭。
16 “‘主耶和华说，如果君王把一部分产业赐给他儿子，这产业便归了他儿子，由他儿子的后代继承。 17 如果君王把一部分产业赐给他的仆人，他的仆人在得到自由之前可以拥有这产业，到他自由的那年[f]，这份产业仍要归还给君王，因为君王的产业只能由他的后代继承。 18 君王不可驱逐百姓离开他们的土地，强夺他们的产业。他必须把自己拥有的产业赐给儿子，免得我的子民四散，失去自己的产业。’”
19 然后，那人领我从大门旁边的入口来到圣所北面的祭司圣屋，让我看圣屋西边的地方。 20 他对我说：“这是祭司煮赎过祭牲、赎罪祭牲和烤素祭的地方。他们在这里烤煮，免得把圣肉带到外院，以致把圣洁传到百姓身上。”
21 他又领我到外院，巡察外院的四个角落。我看见院中每个角落都有一个小庭院， 22 每个庭院的四周都有围墙，长二十米，宽十五米，四角的庭院大小都一样。 23 每个庭院的墙周围都有一排石屋，屋里有炉灶。 24 他对我说：“这是圣殿的仆役替百姓煮祭物的地方。”
从圣殿流出的水
47 他又领我回到圣殿门口，我看见有水从圣殿的门槛下往东流去。殿的正面朝东，这水从殿的南侧经祭坛的南边往下流。 2 随后他领我由北门出来，从外面绕到外院的东门，我见水从东门的南面涓涓流出。
3 那人手拿量绳向东量了五百米，然后领我涉水前行，水深及踝。 4 他又量了五百米，领我涉水前行，水深及膝。他又量了五百米，领我涉水前行，水深及腰。 5 他又量了五百米，水已高涨成河，足可游泳，无法再涉水而行。 6 他问我：“人子啊，你看见了什么？”
然后，他带我回到河边， 7 我发现河的两岸长满了树木。 8 他对我说：“这水向东流，经过亚拉巴流到盐海，使那里的咸水变为淡水。 9 河水流经的地方，万物滋长，鱼产丰盛，因为河水使那里的咸水变成淡水了。 10 渔夫要站在岸边捕鱼，从隐·基底到隐·以革莲都是晒网的地方。那里的鱼就像大海的鱼一样种类繁多。 11 但沼泽和湿洼之地却不会改变，留作产盐之地。 12 沿河两岸长着各种果树，树的叶子不会枯干，果实也不会断绝。树必月月结出新果，不但果实可吃，叶子还可作药用，因为这水是从圣所流出来的。”
地界
13 主耶和华说：“你要按照我划定的地界，把土地分给以色列的十二支派作产业，除约瑟支派[g]要得两份地业外， 14 其他各支派都要均分，因为我曾起誓将这地方赐给你们祖先。这地方必成为你们的产业。
15 “以下是这地方的地界：北界从地中海岸经希特伦到哈马口、西达达、 16 比罗他和大马士革与哈马边界中间的西伯莲，一直到浩兰边界的哈撒·哈提干。 17 这样，北界是从地中海岸一直到大马士革边界的哈撒·以难，以哈马为界。
18 “东界是从北界南下经浩兰、大马士革、沿着基列和以色列中间的约旦河为界，一直伸展到东部的海。
19 “南界从他玛西经米利巴·加低斯泉和埃及小河直到地中海。
20 “西界从南界沿地中海的海岸到北界哈马口对面的地方。
21 “你们要按照以色列的各支派分这块地， 22 用抽签的方法来分产业，也要分给在你们中间居住、生儿育女的外族人。你们要视他们如同以色列人，要让他们与你们同分产业。 23 他们居住在哪一支派，哪一支派便要把产业分给他们。这是主耶和华说的。”
分地
48 “以下是各支派分得的土地：
“但的地业在北部——从希特伦经哈马口到大马士革边界的哈撒·以难，北面靠近哈马，横跨东西。 2 亚设的地业从东到西与北面的但的地业接壤。 3 拿弗他利的地业从东到西与亚设的地业接壤。 4 玛拿西的地业从东到西与拿弗他利的地业接壤。 5 以法莲的地业从东到西与玛拿西的地业接壤。 6 吕便的地业从东到西与以法莲的地业接壤。 7 犹大的地业从东到西与吕便的地业接壤。
8 “犹大边界以南将是你们划分出来的那块地，宽十二点五公里，由东至西的长度与其他各支派的地相同，圣殿在那块地的中央。 9 你们献给耶和华的圣地长十二点五公里、宽五公里， 10 南北面各长十二点五公里，东西面各宽五公里。圣殿在这块地的中央。 11 这块地要归给撒督的子孙——忠心事奉我的圣洁祭司。当以色列人和利未人走入歧途时，他们没有与之同流合污。 12 这块地要归给他们。这是至圣之地，与利未人所得的地业相邻。 13 利未人的地长十二点五公里，宽五公里，与祭司的地相同。 14 他们不可把这块地出卖或交换，不可归给他人，因为它是以色列最好的地，是归给耶和华的圣地。
15 “剩下的十二点五公里长、二点五公里宽的地方是公用的，用来建城邑、房屋和草场，城要建在地的中央。 16 城是正方形的，东、西、南、北各长二点二五公里。 17 城四周要有草场，东西南北各长一百二十五米， 18 与圣地相邻，城外东西两侧剩下的地各长五公里，地里的出产用来供应城内的工人。 19 所有在这城里做工的以色列各支派的人都要耕种这片土地。 20 你们所献的这块圣地和城区是方形的，四面各长十二点五公里。
21 “圣地和城区东西两边的余地要归君王。两边的余地从圣地十二点五公里宽的东西边界开始，沿各支派所分的地，分别向东向西延伸到以色列的东界和西界。圣地和圣殿在地的中央。 22 利未人的产业和城区在君王土地的中央，君王的土地在犹大和便雅悯支派之间。
23 “以下是其他各支派所分的地业：
“便雅悯的地业从东跨到西。 24 西缅的地业从东到西与便雅悯的地业接壤。 25 以萨迦的地业从东到西与西缅的地业接壤。 26 西布伦的地业从东到西与以萨迦的地业接壤。 27 迦得的地业从东到西与西布伦的地业接壤。 28 迦得的南界是从他玛经米利巴·加低斯泉和埃及小河，一直到地中海。 29 这就是你们要抽签分给以色列各支派的土地，作为他们的产业。这是主耶和华说的。
30 “城北面的墙是二点五公里长。以下是城的各个出口。 31 城门都按以色列的各支派命名。城北面的三道门分别是吕便门、犹大门和利未门。 32 东面的墙是二点五公里长，有三道门，分别是约瑟门、便雅悯门和但门。 33 南面的墙是二点五公里长，有三道门，分别是西缅门、以萨迦门和西布伦门。 34 西面的墙是二点五公里长，有三道门，分别是迦得门、亚设门和拿弗他利门。 35 城的四周共长十公里，从那时起，这城必叫‘耶和华的居所’。”

君王，利未人和祭司
44 那人又把我帶到聖殿外院的東門，門關閉著。 2 耶和華對我說：「這門必須關閉，不可打開。沒有人能從這門進入，因為以色列的上帝耶和華已從這門進入，所以這門必須關閉。 3 只有君王可以坐在裡面，在耶和華面前進食。他要從門廊進入，也要從原路出去。」
4 他帶我從北門來到殿前，我看見耶和華的榮光充滿了祂的殿，我就俯伏在地。 5 耶和華對我說：「人子啊，你要認真看，仔細聽我講有關聖殿的一切規矩和法則，記住所有的出入口。 6 然後告訴那些叛逆的以色列人，『主耶和華這樣說，以色列人啊，你們行可憎的事，該夠了吧！ 7 你們獻上食物、脂肪和血的同時，竟將那些身心未受割禮的外族人領進我的聖所，褻瀆我的殿，破壞我的約，使你們罪上加罪。 8 你們自己不管理我的聖物，卻把我的聖所給外人治理。
9 「『因此，主耶和華說，以色列人中身心未受割禮的外族人不可進入我的聖所。
10 「『以色列人走入歧途時，有些利未人也遠離我、追隨偶像，他們必須承擔自己犯罪的後果。 11 然而，他們仍要在我的聖殿供職，看管殿門，為百姓屠宰燔祭牲和其他祭牲，服侍他們。 12 因為利未人帶動以色列人拜偶像，使以色列人陷入罪中，所以我起誓，他們必承擔自己犯罪的後果。這是主耶和華說的。 13 他們不得走近我，不可做我的祭司，也不得走近我的聖物或至聖之物，他們必因自己的可憎行徑蒙羞。 14 然而，我要委派他們管理聖殿，辦理殿中所有的事務。
15 「『以色列人走入歧途時，利未人撒督的子孫仍然在我的聖所盡忠職守，因此他們可以接近我、事奉我，侍立在我面前，獻上脂肪和祭牲的血。這是主耶和華說的。 16 只有他們可以進入我的聖所，在我的桌前事奉我，遵行我的吩咐。 17 他們從內院的門進入殿內供職的時候，要穿細麻布衣服，不可穿羊毛衣服。 18 他們要戴細麻布頭巾，穿細麻布褲子，不可穿使人容易出汗的衣服。 19 他們出去外院見百姓的時候，必須脫下供職時穿的衣服，放在聖屋，穿上普通的衣服後再出去，免得通過聖衣把聖潔帶到百姓身上。 20 他們不可剃光頭，也不可留長頭髮，只可修剪頭髮。 21 祭司進入內院之前，不可喝酒。 22 他們不可娶寡婦或被休的婦女為妻，只能娶以色列的處女或祭司的遺孀。 23 他們要教導我的子民辨別聖與俗，潔淨與不潔淨。 24 他們要審理訴訟之事，按我的律例斷是非。他們必須按我定的律例和法度遵守一切節期，守安息日為聖日。 25 他們不可走近死屍，免得玷污自己，除非死者是自己的父母、子女、弟兄或未出嫁的姊妹。 26 祭司得到潔淨後，要再等七天。 27 他進入內院的聖所事奉時，要為自己獻上贖罪祭，這是主耶和華說的。
28 「『祭司不可在以色列擁有自己的產業，因為我就是他們的產業。 29 他們的食物是以色列人獻上的素祭、贖罪祭和贖過祭。凡獻給耶和華的都歸他們， 30 各種初熟的出產和各種供物都應歸給祭司。你們將初熟的麥子磨成麵給祭司，福氣就必臨到你們的家。 31 無論是自然死亡的，還是被其他野獸咬死的禽獸，祭司都不可吃。
劃分聖地
45 「『當你們抽籤把土地分給以色列各支派作產業的時候，要分出一塊獻給耶和華作聖地。聖地要長十二點五公里，寬十公里，整塊地都要聖潔。 2 你們要在其中分出一塊長寬各二百五十米的地建聖殿。殿的周圍要有二十五米寬的空地。 3 聖地當中要量一塊長十二點五公里、寬五公里的地，其中要有聖所，是最聖潔的地方。 4 這塊聖地應歸那些在聖所中事奉耶和華的祭司，作為他們的居所和建聖所之用。 5 另一塊十二點五公里長、五公里寬的土地給那些在聖殿工作的利未人居住，作他們的產業[a]。
6 「『在聖地旁邊要分出一塊十二點五公里長、二點五公里寬的地建城，以色列人都可以到那裡居住。
7 「『在聖地和城的東西兩邊是給君王的土地，西到地中海，東到約旦河，從西到東長度與一個支派所得的土地一樣。 8 這地方要作君王在以色列的產業。我的君王必不再欺壓我的子民，而是按支派把地分給他們。
9 「『主耶和華說，你們這些以色列的君王啊，夠了！你們應當放棄暴行和搶掠，按公平和正義行事，不要再向我的子民橫徵暴斂了！這是主耶和華說的。 10 你們要用公道的天平、伊法和罷特。 11 賀梅珥[b]是標準的容量單位，量固體的伊法[c]是十分之一賀梅珥，量液體的罷特也是十分之一賀梅珥。 12 舍客勒[d]是標準的重量單位，一舍客勒是二十季拉。六十舍客勒等於一彌那。
13 「『以下是你們應當獻的供物，每一賀梅珥小麥要獻上六分之一伊法，每一賀梅珥大麥也要獻上六分之一伊法。 14 每一柯珥的油要獻十分之一罷特，一柯珥等於十罷特或一賀梅珥，因為一賀梅珥等於十罷特。 15 在以色列肥美的草場上，每二百隻羊便要獻上一隻。這些供物用來作素祭、燔祭和平安祭，為以色列人贖罪。這是主耶和華說的。 16 所有的以色列人都要這樣拿供物來獻給君王。 17 君王要在節期、朔日[e]、安息日等以色列人一切的節期獻上燔祭、素祭和奠祭。他要預備贖罪祭、素祭、燔祭和平安祭的祭物，為以色列人贖罪。
18 「『主耶和華說，一月初一，你要獻一隻毫無殘疾的公牛犢，潔淨聖所。 19 祭司要取些贖罪祭牲的血抹在聖殿的門柱、祭台的四角和內院門口的柱子上。 20 到了一月七日，要同樣為一切在無意和無知中犯罪的人贖罪，使聖殿保持潔淨。
21 「『一月十四日，你們要守逾越節七天，節期間要吃無酵餅。 22 在逾越節當天，君王要預備一頭公牛為自己和百姓作贖罪祭。 23 在七天的節期間，他要每天預備毫無殘疾的公牛七頭、公綿羊七隻作燔祭，公山羊一隻作贖罪祭。 24 他要預備細麵粉和油作素祭與牛羊一同獻上。每頭公牛或公綿羊要同獻十公斤細麵粉和四升油。 25 在七月十五日開始一連七天的住棚節期間，君王也要供應同樣的贖罪祭、燔祭、素祭和油。』
君王與節期
46 「主耶和華說，『聖殿內院的東門在平時工作的六日內都要關閉，只在安息日和朔日才打開。 2 在這些日子，君王要從東門穿過門廊通道進入內院，站在門框旁邊。祭司要為他獻燔祭和平安祭。他在入口的門檻那裡敬拜，然後離去。這門要到晚上才關閉。 3 在安息日和朔日，以色列人要站在這門口敬拜耶和華。 4 君王在安息日獻給耶和華的燔祭應是羊羔六隻、公綿羊一隻，都要毫無殘疾。 5 至於同獻的素祭，一隻公綿羊要同獻十公斤細麵粉，與羊羔同獻的素祭則可隨意奉獻。每十公斤細麵粉要加四升油。 6 要在朔日獻公牛犢一頭、羊羔六隻、公綿羊一隻，都要毫無殘疾。 7 他也要預備素祭，每一頭公牛犢要同獻十公斤細麵粉，公綿羊也是一樣。與羊羔同獻的素祭則可隨意奉獻。每十公斤細麵粉要加四升油。 8 君王從門廊進去，也要從原路出來。
9 「『以色列人在節期進去敬拜耶和華的時候，從北門進去的要從南門出來，從南門進去的要從北門出來。誰都不可回頭從進去的門出來，必須從對面的門出來。 10 在這些節期君王應和百姓一同進殿敬拜，百姓離開的時候，君王也要一同離開。
11 「『每逢節期和特定的聖會，要有與祭牲同獻的素祭，每頭公牛獻十公斤細麵粉，公綿羊也是一樣，與羊羔同獻的素祭則可以隨意奉獻。每十公斤細麵粉要加四升油。 12 倘若君王自願向耶和華獻燔祭或平安祭，便要為他打開東門。他獻的燔祭或平安祭要與安息日所獻的一樣。他獻完後就從東門出去，門也跟著關閉。
13 「『每天早晨，你們要獻給耶和華一隻毫無殘疾的一歲羊羔為燔祭， 14 同獻的素祭是一點七公斤細麵粉，調上一點三升油。獻給耶和華的這種素祭是永久不變的律例。 15 所以，每天早晨都要預備羊羔、素祭和油，作為日常獻的燔祭。
16 「『主耶和華說，如果君王把一部分產業賜給他兒子，這產業便歸了他兒子，由他兒子的後代繼承。 17 如果君王把一部分產業賜給他的僕人，他的僕人在得到自由之前可以擁有這產業，到他自由的那年[f]，這份產業仍要歸還給君王，因為君王的產業只能由他的後代繼承。 18 君王不可驅逐百姓離開他們的土地，強奪他們的產業。他必須把自己擁有的產業賜給兒子，免得我的子民四散，失去自己的產業。』」
19 然後，那人領我從大門旁邊的入口來到聖所北面的祭司聖屋，讓我看聖屋西邊的地方。 20 他對我說：「這是祭司煮贖過祭牲、贖罪祭牲和烤素祭的地方。他們在這裡烤煮，免得把聖肉帶到外院，以致把聖潔傳到百姓身上。」
21 他又領我到外院，巡察外院的四個角落。我看見院中每個角落都有一個小庭院， 22 每個庭院的四周都有圍牆，長二十米，寬十五米，四角的庭院大小都一樣。 23 每個庭院的牆周圍都有一排石屋，屋裡有爐灶。 24 他對我說：「這是聖殿的僕役替百姓煮祭物的地方。」
從聖殿流出的水
47 他又領我回到聖殿門口，我看見有水從聖殿的門檻下往東流去。殿的正面朝東，這水從殿的南側經祭壇的南邊往下流。 2 隨後他領我由北門出來，從外面繞到外院的東門，我見水從東門的南面涓涓流出。
3 那人手拿量繩向東量了五百米，然後領我涉水前行，水深及踝。 4 他又量了五百米，領我涉水前行，水深及膝。他又量了五百米，領我涉水前行，水深及腰。 5 他又量了五百米，水已高漲成河，足可游泳，無法再涉水而行。 6 他問我：「人子啊，你看見了什麼？」
然後，他帶我回到河邊， 7 我發現河的兩岸長滿了樹木。 8 他對我說：「這水向東流，經過亞拉巴流到鹽海，使那裡的鹹水變為淡水。 9 河水流經的地方，萬物滋長，魚產豐盛，因為河水使那裡的鹹水變成淡水了。 10 漁夫要站在岸邊捕魚，從隱·基底到隱·以革蓮都是曬網的地方。那裡的魚就像大海的魚一樣種類繁多。 11 但沼澤和濕窪之地卻不會改變，留作產鹽之地。 12 沿河兩岸長著各種果樹，樹的葉子不會枯乾，果實也不會斷絕。樹必月月結出新果，不但果實可吃，葉子還可作藥用，因為這水是從聖所流出來的。」
地界
13 主耶和華說：「你要按照我劃定的地界，把土地分給以色列的十二支派作產業，除約瑟支派[g]要得兩份地業外， 14 其他各支派都要均分，因為我曾起誓將這地方賜給你們祖先。這地方必成為你們的產業。
15 「以下是這地方的地界：北界從地中海岸經希特倫到哈馬口、西達達、 16 比羅他和大馬士革與哈馬邊界中間的西伯蓮，一直到浩蘭邊界的哈撒·哈提幹。 17 這樣，北界是從地中海岸一直到大馬士革邊界的哈撒·以難，以哈馬為界。
18 「東界是從北界南下經浩蘭、大馬士革、沿著基列和以色列中間的約旦河為界，一直伸展到東部的海。
19 「南界從他瑪西經米利巴·加低斯泉和埃及小河直到地中海。
20 「西界從南界沿地中海的海岸到北界哈馬口對面的地方。
21 「你們要按照以色列的各支派分這塊地， 22 用抽籤的方法來分產業，也要分給在你們中間居住、生兒育女的外族人。你們要視他們如同以色列人，要讓他們與你們同分產業。 23 他們居住在哪一支派，哪一支派便要把產業分給他們。這是主耶和華說的。」
分地
48 「以下是各支派分得的土地：
「但的地業在北部——從希特倫經哈馬口到大馬士革邊界的哈撒·以難，北面靠近哈馬，橫跨東西。 2 亞設的地業從東到西與北面的但的地業接壤。 3 拿弗他利的地業從東到西與亞設的地業接壤。 4 瑪拿西的地業從東到西與拿弗他利的地業接壤。 5 以法蓮的地業從東到西與瑪拿西的地業接壤。 6 呂便的地業從東到西與以法蓮的地業接壤。 7 猶大的地業從東到西與呂便的地業接壤。
8 「猶大邊界以南將是你們劃分出來的那塊地，寬十二點五公里，由東至西的長度與其他各支派的地相同，聖殿在那塊地的中央。 9 你們獻給耶和華的聖地長十二點五公里、寬五公里， 10 南北面各長十二點五公里，東西面各寬五公里。聖殿在這塊地的中央。 11 這塊地要歸給撒督的子孫——忠心事奉我的聖潔祭司。當以色列人和利未人走入歧途時，他們沒有與之同流合污。 12 這塊地要歸給他們。這是至聖之地，與利未人所得的地業相鄰。 13 利未人的地長十二點五公里，寬五公里，與祭司的地相同。 14 他們不可把這塊地出賣或交換，不可歸給他人，因為它是以色列最好的地，是歸給耶和華的聖地。
15 「剩下的十二點五公里長、二點五公里寬的地方是公用的，用來建城邑、房屋和草場，城要建在地的中央。 16 城是正方形的，東、西、南、北各長二點二五公里。 17 城四周要有草場，東西南北各長一百二十五米， 18 與聖地相鄰，城外東西兩側剩下的地各長五公里，地裡的出產用來供應城內的工人。 19 所有在這城裡做工的以色列各支派的人都要耕種這片土地。 20 你們所獻的這塊聖地和城區是方形的，四面各長十二點五公里。
21 「聖地和城區東西兩邊的餘地要歸君王。兩邊的餘地從聖地十二點五公里寬的東西邊界開始，沿各支派所分的地，分別向東向西延伸到以色列的東界和西界。聖地和聖殿在地的中央。 22 利未人的產業和城區在君王土地的中央，君王的土地在猶大和便雅憫支派之間。
23 「以下是其他各支派所分的地業：
「便雅憫的地業從東跨到西。 24 西緬的地業從東到西與便雅憫的地業接壤。 25 以薩迦的地業從東到西與西緬的地業接壤。 26 西布倫的地業從東到西與以薩迦的地業接壤。 27 迦得的地業從東到西與西布倫的地業接壤。 28 迦得的南界是從他瑪經米利巴·加低斯泉和埃及小河，一直到地中海。 29 這就是你們要抽籤分給以色列各支派的土地，作為他們的產業。這是主耶和華說的。
30 「城北面的牆是二點五公里長。以下是城的各個出口。 31 城門都按以色列的各支派命名。城北面的三道門分別是呂便門、猶大門和利未門。 32 東面的牆是二點五公里長，有三道門，分別是約瑟門、便雅憫門和但門。 33 南面的牆是二點五公里長，有三道門，分別是西緬門、以薩迦門和西布倫門。 34 西面的牆是二點五公里長，有三道門，分別是迦得門、亞設門和拿弗他利門。 35 城的四周共長十公里，從那時起，這城必叫『耶和華的居所』。」

The Priesthood Restored
44 Then the man brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, the one facing east,(A) and it was shut. 2 The Lord said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It must not be opened; no one may enter through it.(B) It is to remain shut because the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it. 3 The prince himself is the only one who may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence(C) of the Lord. He is to enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.(D)”
4 Then the man brought me by way of the north gate(E) to the front of the temple. I looked and saw the glory of the Lord filling the temple(F) of the Lord, and I fell facedown.(G)
5 The Lord said to me, “Son of man, look carefully, listen closely and give attention to everything I tell you concerning all the regulations and instructions regarding the temple of the Lord. Give attention to the entrance(H) to the temple and all the exits of the sanctuary.(I) 6 Say to rebellious Israel,(J) ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Enough of your detestable practices, people of Israel! 7 In addition to all your other detestable practices, you brought foreigners uncircumcised in heart(K) and flesh into my sanctuary, desecrating my temple while you offered me food, fat and blood, and you broke my covenant.(L) 8 Instead of carrying out your duty in regard to my holy things, you put others in charge of my sanctuary.(M) 9 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh is to enter my sanctuary, not even the foreigners who live among the Israelites.(N)
10 “‘The Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray(O) and who wandered from me after their idols must bear the consequences of their sin.(P) 11 They may serve in my sanctuary, having charge of the gates of the temple and serving in it; they may slaughter the burnt offerings(Q) and sacrifices for the people and stand before the people and serve them.(R) 12 But because they served them in the presence of their idols and made the people of Israel fall(S) into sin, therefore I have sworn with uplifted hand(T) that they must bear the consequences of their sin, declares the Sovereign Lord.(U) 13 They are not to come near to serve me as priests or come near any of my holy things or my most holy offerings; they must bear the shame(V) of their detestable practices.(W) 14 And I will appoint them to guard the temple for all the work that is to be done in it.(X)
15 “‘But the Levitical priests, who are descendants of Zadok(Y) and who guarded my sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from me, are to come near to minister before me; they are to stand before me to offer sacrifices of fat(Z) and blood, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AA) 16 They alone are to enter my sanctuary; they alone are to come near my table(AB) to minister before me and serve me as guards.(AC)
17 “‘When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen clothes;(AD) they must not wear any woolen garment while ministering at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple. 18 They are to wear linen turbans(AE) on their heads and linen undergarments(AF) around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.(AG) 19 When they go out into the outer court where the people are, they are to take off the clothes they have been ministering in and are to leave them in the sacred rooms, and put on other clothes, so that the people are not consecrated(AH) through contact with their garments.(AI)
20 “‘They must not shave(AJ) their heads or let their hair grow long, but they are to keep the hair of their heads trimmed.(AK) 21 No priest is to drink wine when he enters the inner court.(AL) 22 They must not marry widows or divorced women; they may marry only virgins of Israelite descent or widows of priests.(AM) 23 They are to teach my people the difference between the holy and the common(AN) and show them how to distinguish between the unclean and the clean.(AO)
24 “‘In any dispute, the priests are to serve as judges(AP) and decide it according to my ordinances. They are to keep my laws and my decrees for all my appointed festivals,(AQ) and they are to keep my Sabbaths holy.(AR)
25 “‘A priest must not defile himself by going near a dead person; however, if the dead person was his father or mother, son or daughter, brother or unmarried sister, then he may defile himself.(AS) 26 After he is cleansed, he must wait seven days.(AT) 27 On the day he goes into the inner court of the sanctuary(AU) to minister in the sanctuary, he is to offer a sin offering[a](AV) for himself, declares the Sovereign Lord.
28 “‘I am to be the only inheritance(AW) the priests have. You are to give them no possession in Israel; I will be their possession. 29 They will eat(AX) the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings; and everything in Israel devoted[b] to the Lord(AY) will belong to them.(AZ) 30 The best of all the firstfruits(BA) and of all your special gifts will belong to the priests. You are to give them the first portion of your ground meal(BB) so that a blessing(BC) may rest on your household.(BD) 31 The priests must not eat anything, whether bird or animal, found dead(BE) or torn by wild animals.(BF)
Israel Fully Restored
45 “‘When you allot the land as an inheritance,(BG) you are to present to the Lord a portion of the land as a sacred district, 25,000 cubits[c] long and 20,000[d] cubits[e] wide; the entire area will be holy.(BH) 2 Of this, a section 500 cubits[f] square(BI) is to be for the sanctuary, with 50 cubits[g] around it for open land. 3 In the sacred district, measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[h] wide. In it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4 It will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests,(BJ) who minister in the sanctuary and who draw near to minister before the Lord. It will be a place for their houses as well as a holy place for the sanctuary.(BK) 5 An area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide will belong to the Levites, who serve in the temple, as their possession for towns to live in.[i](BL)
6 “‘You are to give the city as its property an area 5,000 cubits[j] wide and 25,000 cubits long, adjoining the sacred portion; it will belong to all Israel.(BM)
7 “‘The prince will have the land bordering each side of the area formed by the sacred district and the property of the city. It will extend westward from the west side and eastward from the east side, running lengthwise from the western to the eastern border parallel to one of the tribal portions.(BN) 8 This land will be his possession in Israel. And my princes will no longer oppress my people but will allow the people of Israel to possess the land according to their tribes.(BO)
9 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You have gone far enough, princes of Israel! Give up your violence and oppression(BP) and do what is just and right.(BQ) Stop dispossessing my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 10 You are to use accurate scales,(BR) an accurate ephah[k](BS) and an accurate bath.[l] 11 The ephah(BT) and the bath are to be the same size, the bath containing a tenth of a homer and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer is to be the standard measure for both. 12 The shekel[m] is to consist of twenty gerahs.(BU) Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels equal one mina.[n]
13 “‘This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah[o] from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah[p] from each homer of barley. 14 The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath[q] from each cor (which consists of ten baths or one homer, for ten baths are equivalent to a homer). 15 Also one sheep is to be taken from every flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These will be used for the grain offerings, burnt offerings(BV) and fellowship offerings to make atonement(BW) for the people, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 All the people of the land will be required to give this special offering to the prince in Israel. 17 It will be the duty of the prince to provide the burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings at the festivals, the New Moons(BX) and the Sabbaths(BY)—at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin offerings,[r] grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make atonement for the Israelites.(BZ)
18 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In the first month(CA) on the first day you are to take a young bull without defect(CB) and purify the sanctuary.(CC) 19 The priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge(CD) of the altar(CE) and on the gateposts of the inner court. 20 You are to do the same on the seventh day of the month for anyone who sins unintentionally(CF) or through ignorance; so you are to make atonement for the temple.
21 “‘In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover,(CG) a festival lasting seven days, during which you shall eat bread made without yeast. 22 On that day the prince is to provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.(CH) 23 Every day during the seven days of the festival he is to provide seven bulls and seven rams(CI) without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord, and a male goat for a sin offering.(CJ) 24 He is to provide as a grain offering(CK) an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a hin[s] of olive oil for each ephah.(CL)
25 “‘During the seven days of the festival,(CM) which begins in the seventh month on the fifteenth day, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and oil.(CN)
46 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The gate of the inner court(CO) facing east(CP) is to be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon(CQ) it is to be opened. 2 The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico(CR) of the gateway and stand by the gatepost. The priests are to sacrifice his burnt offering(CS) and his fellowship offerings. He is to bow down in worship at the threshold of the gateway and then go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.(CT) 3 On the Sabbaths(CU) and New Moons the people of the land are to worship in the presence of the Lord at the entrance of that gateway.(CV) 4 The burnt offering the prince brings to the Lord on the Sabbath day is to be six male lambs and a ram, all without defect. 5 The grain offering given with the ram is to be an ephah,[t] and the grain offering with the lambs is to be as much as he pleases, along with a hin[u] of olive oil for each ephah.(CW) 6 On the day of the New Moon(CX) he is to offer a young bull, six lambs and a ram, all without defect.(CY) 7 He is to provide as a grain offering one ephah with the bull, one ephah with the ram, and with the lambs as much as he wants to give, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.(CZ) 8 When the prince enters, he is to go in through the portico(DA) of the gateway, and he is to come out the same way.(DB)
9 “‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals,(DC) whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate. 10 The prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.(DD) 11 At the feasts and the appointed festivals, the grain offering is to be an ephah with a bull, an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as he pleases, along with a hin of oil for each ephah.(DE)
12 “‘When the prince provides(DF) a freewill offering(DG) to the Lord—whether a burnt offering or fellowship offerings—the gate facing east is to be opened for him. He shall offer his burnt offering or his fellowship offerings as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he has gone out, the gate will be shut.(DH)
13 “‘Every day you are to provide a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord; morning by morning(DI) you shall provide it.(DJ) 14 You are also to provide with it morning by morning a grain offering, consisting of a sixth of an ephah[v] with a third of a hin[w] of oil(DK) to moisten the flour. The presenting of this grain offering to the Lord is a lasting ordinance.(DL) 15 So the lamb and the grain offering and the oil shall be provided morning by morning for a regular(DM) burnt offering.(DN)
16 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: If the prince makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his sons, it will also belong to his descendants; it is to be their property by inheritance.(DO) 17 If, however, he makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, the servant may keep it until the year of freedom;(DP) then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs to his sons only; it is theirs. 18 The prince must not take(DQ) any of the inheritance(DR) of the people, driving them off their property. He is to give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that not one of my people will be separated from their property.’”
19 Then the man brought me through the entrance(DS) at the side of the gate to the sacred rooms facing north,(DT) which belonged to the priests, and showed me a place at the western end. 20 He said to me, “This is the place where the priests are to cook the guilt offering and the sin offering[x] and bake the grain offering, to avoid bringing them into the outer court and consecrating(DU) the people.”(DV)
21 He then brought me to the outer court and led me around to its four corners, and I saw in each corner another court. 22 In the four corners of the outer court were enclosed[y] courts, forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide;[z] each of the courts in the four corners was the same size. 23 Around the inside of each of the four courts was a ledge of stone, with places for fire built all around under the ledge. 24 He said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who minister at the temple are to cook the sacrifices of the people.”
The River From the Temple
47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water(DW) coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.(DX) 2 He then brought me out through the north gate(DY) and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.
3 As the man went eastward with a measuring line(DZ) in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits[aa] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. 4 He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. 5 He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river(EA) that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross.(EB) 6 He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”
Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.(EC) 8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah,[ab](ED) where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh.(EE) 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.(EF) 10 Fishermen(EG) will stand along the shore; from En Gedi(EH) to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets.(EI) The fish will be of many kinds(EJ)—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.(EK) 11 But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.(EL) 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river.(EM) Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit(EN) fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary(EO) flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.(EP)”
The Boundaries of the Land
13 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “These are the boundaries(EQ) of the land that you will divide among the twelve tribes of Israel as their inheritance, with two portions for Joseph.(ER) 14 You are to divide it equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your ancestors, this land will become your inheritance.(ES)
15 “This is to be the boundary of the land:(ET)
“On the north side it will run from the Mediterranean Sea(EU) by the Hethlon road(EV) past Lebo Hamath to Zedad, 16 Berothah[ac](EW) and Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath),(EX) as far as Hazer Hattikon, which is on the border of Hauran. 17 The boundary will extend from the sea to Hazar Enan,[ad] along the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.(EY)
18 “On the east side the boundary will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Dead Sea and as far as Tamar.[ae] This will be the eastern boundary.(EZ)
19 “On the south side it will run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah Kadesh,(FA) then along the Wadi of Egypt(FB) to the Mediterranean Sea.(FC) This will be the southern boundary.
20 “On the west side, the Mediterranean Sea will be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo Hamath.(FD) This will be the western boundary.(FE)
21 “You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance(FF) for yourselves and for the foreigners(FG) residing among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.(FH) 23 In whatever tribe a foreigner resides, there you are to give them their inheritance,” declares the Sovereign Lord.(FI)
The Division of the Land
48 “These are the tribes, listed by name: At the northern frontier, Dan(FJ) will have one portion; it will follow the Hethlon road(FK) to Lebo Hamath;(FL) Hazar Enan and the northern border of Damascus next to Hamath will be part of its border from the east side to the west side.
2 “Asher(FM) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Dan from east to west.
3 “Naphtali(FN) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Asher from east to west.
4 “Manasseh(FO) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.
5 “Ephraim(FP) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Manasseh(FQ) from east to west.(FR)
6 “Reuben(FS) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.
7 “Judah(FT) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Reuben from east to west.
8 “Bordering the territory of Judah from east to west will be the portion you are to present as a special gift. It will be 25,000 cubits[af] wide, and its length from east to west will equal one of the tribal portions; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.(FU)
9 “The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[ag] wide.(FV) 10 This will be the sacred 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 of it will be the sanctuary of the Lord.(FW) 11 This will be for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites,(FX) who were faithful in serving me(FY) and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.(FZ) 12 It will be a special gift to them from the sacred portion of the land, a most holy portion, bordering the territory of the Levites.
13 “Alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. Its total length will be 25,000 cubits and its width 10,000 cubits.(GA) 14 They must not sell or exchange any of it. This is the best of the land and must not pass into other hands, because it is holy to the Lord.(GB)
15 “The remaining area, 5,000 cubits[ah] wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for the common use of the city, for houses and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it 16 and will have these measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits,[ai] the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.(GC) 17 The pastureland for the city will be 250 cubits[aj] on the north, 250 cubits on the south, 250 cubits on the east, and 250 cubits on the west. 18 What remains of the area, bordering on the sacred portion and running the length of 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.(GD) 19 The workers from the city who farm it will come from all the tribes of Israel. 20 The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits on each side. As a special gift you will set aside the sacred portion, along with the property of the city.
21 “What remains on both sides of the area formed by the sacred portion and the property of the city will belong to the prince. It will extend eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the sacred portion to the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. Both these areas running the length of the tribal portions will belong to the prince, and the sacred portion with the temple sanctuary will be in the center of them.(GE) 22 So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the center of the area that belongs to the prince. The area belonging to the prince will lie between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin.
23 “As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin(GF) will have one portion; it will extend from the east side to the west side.
24 “Simeon(GG) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.
25 “Issachar(GH) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.
26 “Zebulun(GI) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.
27 “Gad(GJ) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Zebulun from east to west.
28 “The southern boundary of Gad will run south from Tamar(GK) to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.(GL)
29 “This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,” declares the Sovereign Lord.(GM)
The Gates of the New City
30 “These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which is 4,500 cubits long, 31 the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. The three gates on the north side will be the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah and the gate of Levi.
32 “On the east side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin and the gate of Dan.
33 “On the south side, which measures 4,500 cubits, will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar and the gate of Zebulun.
34 “On the west side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher and the gate of Naphtali.(GN)
35 “The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.[ak]
“And the name of the city from that time on will be:
the Lord is there.(GO)”

King James Version
Ezekiel 44-48
King James Version
44 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.
5 And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Thus saith the Lord God; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God:
16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
19 And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord God.
28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
45 Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the Lord, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
3 And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place.
4 The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the Lord: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
5 And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
6 And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
7 And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
8 In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 Thus saith the Lord God; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord God.
10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
12 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
13 This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:
14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer:
15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord God.
16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.
17 And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
18 Thus saith the Lord God; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
19 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
22 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
23 And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Lord, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
24 And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
46 Thus saith the Lord God; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the Lord in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
5 And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
6 And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
7 And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
8 And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
9 But when the people of the land shall come before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
10 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
11 And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
12 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the Lord of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the Lord.
15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
16 Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
19 After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
20 Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
21 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
22 In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.
23 And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.
24 Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
47 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
13 Thus saith the Lord God; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God.
48 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.
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 Naphtali.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, 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, 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.
