七个支派所得之地

48 “各支派名下的产业是这样:在北边尽头的地界起,沿着希特伦的路,经哈马口到大马士革边界上的哈萨.以难,北边靠着哈马地,从东到西,是但的一份。 沿着但的边界,从东到西,是亚设的一份。 沿着亚设的边界,从东到西,是拿弗他利的一份。 沿着拿弗他利的边界,从东到西,是玛拿西的一份。 沿着玛拿西的边界,从东到西,是以法莲的一份。 沿着以法莲的边界,从东到西,是流本的一份。 沿着流本的边界,从东到西,是犹大的一份。

祭司之地

“沿着犹大的边界,从东到西,就是你们所要献出的圣区,长十二公里半,从东到西的长度与其他各份的一样,圣所要在其中。 你们献给耶和华的地区,要长十二公里半,宽十公里。 10 献给祭司的圣地,北边长十二公里半,西边宽五公里,东边宽五公里,南边长十二公里半。 11 这地要归给祭司,就是撒督子孙中分别为圣的。他们守我所吩咐的职责;以色列人走迷路的时候,他们不像利未人那样走迷路。 12 因此,从所献的圣区要有一块地献给祭司,作为至圣之地。这地沿着利未人的地界。 13 沿着祭司的地界要有一块地献给利未人,长十二公里半,宽五公里。祭司的地也是长十二公里半,宽五公里。 14 这地的任何部分不可变卖,不可交换,也不可转让给别人,因为它是这地中最好的一份,是归耶和华为圣的。

公用之地

15 “所剩下的地,宽两公里半,长十二公里半,要作俗地,供城市、居民和郊野之用。城要在其中。 16 城的大小是这样:北边二千二百五十公尺,南边二千二百五十公尺,东

边二千二百五十公尺,西边二

千二百五十公尺。 17 城要有郊野,

北边一百二十五公尺,南边一

百二十五公尺,东边一百二十五公尺,西边一百二十五公尺。 18 这俗地两旁剩下的地,沿着所献的圣区的长度计算,东边五公里,西边五公里,也沿着所献的圣区。这些地的出产要给城里的工人作食物。 19 城里的工人来自以色列各支派,耕种这地。 20 所献的整个地区,长十二公里半,宽十二公里半,是见方的。你们要把所献的圣区,连同城的基业,一起献上。

君王之地

21 “所献的圣区和城的基业,两旁所剩下的都要归给君王,从那宽十二公里半的献地以东至东面的边界,以及从那宽十二公里半的献地以西至西边的边界沿着其他各分地,都要归给君王。这样所献的圣地和殿的圣所,都在这两块地的中间。 22 利未人的基业和城的基业都位于君王的地中间。君王的地是在犹大的边界和便雅悯的边界中间。

其余五个支派所得之地

23 “至于其余的支派,从东到西,是便雅悯的一份。 24 沿着便雅悯的边界,从东到西,是西缅的一份。 25 沿着西缅的边界,从东到西,是以萨迦的一份。 26 沿着以萨迦的边界,从东到西,是西布伦的一份。 27 沿着西布伦的边界,从东到西,是迦得的一份。 28 迦得南面的边界,是从他玛到米利巴.加低斯水,经埃及小河到大海。 29 这就是你们要抽签分给以色列各支派为业的地。这些分地就是他们所得的分。”这是主耶和华的宣告。

新城的总面积与十二道城门

30 “城北面的长度是二千二百五十公尺。城的出口是这样: 31 城门要按以色列各支派取名。北面有三个门口,一个是流本门,一个是犹大门,一个是利未门。 32 东面的长度是二千二百五十公尺,有三个门口,一个是约瑟门,一个是便雅悯门,一个是但门。 33 南面的长度是二千二百五十公尺,有三个门口,一个是西缅门,一个是以萨迦门,一个是西布伦门。 34 西面的长度是二千二百五十公尺,也有三个门口,一个是迦得门,一个是亚设门,一个是拿弗他利门。 35 城的周围共长九千公尺。从此以后,这城的名字要称为‘耶和华的所在’。”

Chapter 48

These are the names[a] of the tribes:

At the northern end, along the side of the way to Hethlon, Lebo-hamath, and Hazar-enon, the border of Damascus, and northward up to the frontier with Hamath, from the eastern border to the western: Dan, one portion. Along the territory of Dan from the eastern border to the western border: Asher, one portion.(A) Along the territory of Asher from the eastern border to the western border: Naphtali, one portion.(B) Along the territory of Naphtali from the eastern border to the western border: Manasseh, one portion.(C) Along the territory of Manasseh from the eastern border to the western border: Ephraim, one portion.(D) Along the territory of Ephraim from the eastern border to the western border: Reuben, one portion.(E) Along the territory of Reuben from the eastern border to the western border: Judah, one portion.(F)

The Sacred Tract. Along the territory of Judah from the eastern border to the western border is the tract you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits wide and as long as one of the portions from the eastern border to the western border. The sanctuary shall stand in the center of the tract. The tract you set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits long by twenty thousand wide. 10 The sacred tract will be given to the following: the priests shall have twenty-five thousand cubits on the north, ten thousand on the west, ten thousand on the east, and twenty-five thousand on the south. The sanctuary of the Lord shall be in its center. 11 The consecrated priests, the Zadokites, who fulfilled my service and did not stray with the Israelites as the Levites did, 12 shall have their own tract set apart, next to the territory of the Levites, separate from the most holy tract. 13 The Levites shall have territory corresponding to that of the priests, twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits wide. The whole tract shall be twenty-five thousand cubits long and twenty thousand wide. 14 They may not sell or exchange or transfer any of it, the best part of the land, for it is sacred to the Lord. 15 The remaining section, five thousand cubits long and twenty-five thousand cubits wide, is profane land, assigned to the city for dwellings and pasture. The city is at its center. 16 These are the dimensions of the city: the north side, forty-five hundred cubits; the south side, forty-five hundred cubits; the east side, forty-five hundred cubits; and the west side, forty-five hundred cubits.(G) 17 The pasture land for the city extends north two hundred fifty cubits, south two hundred fifty cubits, east two hundred fifty cubits, and west two hundred fifty cubits. 18 The remaining section runs eastward along the sacred tract for ten thousand cubits and westward ten thousand cubits. Its produce shall provide food for the workers of the city. 19 The workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. 20 The entire sacred tract measures twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand cubits; as a square you shall set apart the sacred tract together with the city property.

21 The remaining land on both sides of the sacred tract and the property of the city shall belong to the prince, extending eastward twenty-five thousand cubits up to the eastern boundary, and westward twenty-five thousand cubits to the western boundary. This portion belongs to the prince and corresponds to the tribal portions. The sacred tract and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in the middle. 22 Except for the Levites’ property and the city’s property, which are in the middle of the prince’s property, the territory between the portion of Judah and the portion of Benjamin shall belong to the prince.

The Southern Portions. 23 These are the remaining tribes:

From the eastern border to the western border: Benjamin, one portion.(H) 24 Along the territory of Benjamin from the eastern border to the western border: Simeon, one portion.(I) 25 Along the territory of Simeon from the eastern border to the western border: Issachar, one portion.(J) 26 Along the territory of Issachar from the eastern border to the western border: Zebulun, one portion.(K) 27 Along the territory of Zebulun from the eastern border to the western border: Gad, one portion.(L) 28 Along the territory of Gad shall be the southern border. This boundary shall extend from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and along the Wadi of Egypt to the Great Sea. 29 This is the land you shall apportion as a heritage among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions—oracle of the Lord God.

The Gates of the City. 30 These are the exits from the city: On the north side, measuring forty-five hundred cubits— 31 the gates are named after the tribes of Israel—on the north, three gates: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; and the gate of Levi, one. 32 On the east side, measuring forty-five hundred cubits, three gates: the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; and the gate of Dan, one. 33 On the south side, measuring forty-five hundred cubits, three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; and the gate of Zebulun, one. 34 On the west side, measuring forty-five hundred cubits, three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; and the gate of Naphtali, one.(M) 35 The circuit of the city shall be eighteen thousand cubits. From now on the name of the city is “The Lord is there.”(N)
