Ezequiel 48
O Livro
A divisão da terra
48 Esta é a lista das tribos com o território que cada uma receberá.
Dan: desde a fronteira do norte, no Mediterrâneo, através de Hetlom até Hamate, e depois até Hazar-Enã, na fronteira entre Damasco, a sul, e Hamate, a norte. São esses os limites a leste e a oeste da terra.
2 Aser: o seu território fica a sul do território de Dan e tem as mesmas fronteiras a leste e a oeste.
3 Naftali: fica a sul de Aser e tem também as mesmas fronteiras a leste e a oeste.
4 Manassés: fica a sul de Naftali, com os mesmos limites a leste e a oeste.
5 A seguir, junto a Manassés para o sul, fica Efraim,
6 depois ficará Rúben e,
7 por fim Judá, todos com as mesmas linhas de limite a leste e a oeste.
8 No território de Judá, desde a fronteira oriental até ao mar Mediterrâneo, a ocidente, será reservado um território que terá a mesma extensão que o de cada tribo, ou seja, 12,5 quilómetros de extensão. O templo será estabelecido no centro desta área.
9 Além disso, haverá uma faixa de território com 12,5 quilómetros de comprimento e 5 quilómetros de largura, 10-11 de norte a sul, rodeando o templo. Será para os sacerdotes, os filhos de Zadoque que me obedeceram e não pecaram com o povo de Israel e o resto da tribo de Levi. 12 É porção especial de terra que lhe é atribuída, a mais santíssima de todas.
13 A seguir a essa área há outra onde viverão os levitas. Será do mesmo tamanho e com a mesma forma que a primeira. Juntas medirão 12,5 quilómetros por 5 quilómetros. 14 Nenhuma parte desta terra especial poderá ser vendida, negociada ou arrendada, pois pertence ao Senhor, é santa.
15 A faixa de terra de 12,5 quilómetros de comprimento por 2,5 quilómetros de largura, a sul da secção atribuída ao templo, será para uso público com a cidade no centro. 16 A própria cidade será quadrada e terá 2,5 quilómetros de largura. 17 Uma terra aberta para pastagens rodeará a cidade e terá 125 metros de extensão. 18 No exterior da cidade, estendendo-se numa faixa de 5 quilómetros a leste e a oeste, na margem da terra sagrada, haverá um campo para a agricultura, pertencente à cidade, para uso público. 19 Estará aberto a quem trabalhar na cidade, seja qual for a sua origem em Israel.
20 Toda esta área, incluindo as terras sagradas e as terras da cidade, será um quadrado com 12,5 quilómetros de largo.
21-22 A terra em ambos os lados desta área, estendendo-se para leste e oeste até às fronteiras de Israel, pertencerá ao príncipe. Esta terra, que ficará entre as porções atribuídas a Judá e Benjamim, terá 12,5 quilómetros e será quadrada, de cada lado das terras, tanto da sagrada como da terra da cidade. No meio ficará a parte reservada ao templo.
23 As secções dadas às tribos restantes são as seguintes. Benjamim: estende-se através de todo o território de Israel, desde a fronteira do oriente até à do ocidente.
24 Ao sul fica a de Simeão, estendendo-se igualmente entre estas as fronteiras oriental e ocidental.
25 Depois é Issacar com os mesmos limites.
26 A seguir vem Zebulão com a mesma forma.
27 Gad também com os mesmos limites.
28 Mas a sua fronteira a sul vai de Tamar até às fontes de Meribá-Cades, seguindo depois pela Ribeira do Egito até ao Mediterrâneo.
29 É este o loteamento que se fará entre cada tribo, conforme a palavra do Senhor Deus.
As portas da cidade
30-31 Cada porta da cidade terá o nome de cada uma das tribos de Israel em sua honra. A norte, na sua muralha de 2,25 quilómetros, haverá três entradas, uma com o nome de Rúben, outra de Judá e outra de Levi. 32 A leste, na muralha igualmente de 2,25 quilómetros, haverá também três portas, com os nomes de José, Benjamim e Dan. 33 A sul, na muralha que terá o mesmo comprimento, haverá as portas de Simeão, Issacar e Zebulão. 34 E a oeste, da mesma maneira, ver-se-ão as portas de Gad, Aser e Naftali.
35 O perímetro total da cidade medirá 9 quilómetros e chamar-se-á:
o Senhor está ali.”
Ezekiel 48
New King James Version
Division of the Land
48 “Now these are the names of the tribes: (A)From the northern border along the road to Hethlon at the entrance of Hamath, to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus northward, in the direction of Hamath, there shall be one section for (B)Dan from its east to its west side; 2 by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, one section for (C)Asher; 3 by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west, one section for (D)Naphtali; 4 by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, one section for (E)Manasseh; 5 by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, one section for (F)Ephraim; 6 by the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, one section for (G)Reuben; 7 by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west, one section for (H)Judah; 8 by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be (I)the district which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the other portions, from the east side to the west, with the (J)sanctuary in the center.
9 “The district that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. 10 To these—to the priests—the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. The sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the center. 11 (K)It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are sanctified, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, (L)as the Levites went astray. 12 And this district of land that is set apart shall be to them a thing most (M)holy by the border of the Levites.
13 “Opposite the border of the priests, the (N)Levites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand. 14 (O)And they shall not sell or exchange any of it; they may not alienate this best part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.
15 (P)“The five thousand cubits in width that remain, along the edge of the twenty-five thousand, shall be (Q)for general use by the city, for dwellings and common-land; and the city shall be in the center. 16 These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits, the south side four thousand five hundred, the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred. 17 The common-land of the city shall be: to the north two hundred and fifty cubits, to the south two hundred and fifty, to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty. 18 The rest of the length, alongside the district of the holy section, shall be ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west. It shall be adjacent to the district of the holy section, and its produce shall be food for the workers of the city. 19 (R)The workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. 20 The entire district shall be twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits, foursquare. You shall set apart the holy district with the property of the city.
21 (S)“The rest shall belong to the prince, on one side and on the other of the holy district and of the city’s property, next to the twenty-five thousand cubits of the holy district as far as the eastern border, and westward next to the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border, adjacent to the tribal portions; it shall belong to the prince. It shall be the holy district, (T)and the sanctuary of the [a]temple shall be in the center. 22 Moreover, apart from the possession of the Levites and the possession of the city which are in the midst of what belongs to the prince, the area between the border of Judah and the border of (U)Benjamin shall belong to the prince.
23 “As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west, Benjamin shall have one section; 24 by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, (V)Simeon shall have one section; 25 by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west, (W)Issachar shall have one section; 26 by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west, (X)Zebulun shall have one section; 27 by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, (Y)Gad shall have one section; 28 by the border of Gad, on the south side, toward the [b]South, the border shall be from Tamar to (Z)the waters of [c]Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the (AA)Great Sea. 29 (AB)This is the land which you shall divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions,” says the Lord God.
The Gates of the City and Its Name
30 “These are the exits of the city. On the north side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits 31 (AC)(the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi; 32 on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan; 33 on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun; 34 on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali. 35 All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; (AD)and the name of the city from that day shall be: (AE)THE[d] LORD IS THERE.”

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.

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.

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.
