The Land Allotted to Each Tribe
48 ‘Now these are the names of the tribes:
From the northern end, along the road of Hethlon, to Lebo-hamath as far as Hazar-enon, at the northern border of Damascus, alongside Hamath and extending from the eastern side to the sea, will be Dan – one portion.
2 Next to the territory of Dan, from the east side to the west, will be Asher – one portion.
3 Next to the territory of Asher, from the east side to the west, will be Naphtali – one portion.
4 Next to the territory of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, will be Manasseh – one portion.
5 Next to the territory of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, will be Ephraim – one portion.
6 Next to the territory of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, will be Reuben – one portion.
7 Next to the territory of Reuben, from the east side to the west, will be Judah – one portion.
8 ‘Next to the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, will be the portion you donate to the Lord, 13.25 kilometres[a] wide, and as long as one of the tribal portions from the east side to the west.(A) The sanctuary will be in the middle of it.
9 ‘The special portion you donate to the Lord will be 13.25 kilometres long and 5.3 kilometres[b] wide. 10 This holy donation will be set apart for the priests alone. It will be 13.25 kilometres long on the northern side, 5.3 kilometres wide on the western side, 5.3 kilometres wide on the eastern side, and 13.25 kilometres long on the southern side. The Lord’s sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 11 It is for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge(B) and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray. 12 It will be a special donation for them out of the holy donation of the land, a most holy place adjacent to the territory of the Levites.
13 ‘Next to the territory of the priests, the Levites will have an area 13.25 kilometres long and 5.3 kilometres wide. The total length will be 13.25 kilometres and the width 5.3 kilometres.(C) 14 They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this choice part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.(D)
15 ‘The remaining area, 2.65 kilometres[c] wide and 13.25 kilometres long, will be for common use by the city,(E) for both residential and open space. The city will be in the middle of it. 16 These are the city’s measurements:
2.4 kilometres[d] on the north side;
2.4 kilometres on the south side;
2.4 kilometres on the east side;
and 2.4 kilometres on the west side.
17 The city’s open space will extend:
132.5 metres[e] to the north,
132.5 metres to the south,
132.5 metres to the east,
and 132.5 metres to the west.
18 ‘The remainder of the length alongside the holy donation will be 5.3 kilometres to the east and 5.3 kilometres to the west. It will run alongside the holy donation. Its produce will be food for the workers of the city. 19 The city’s workers from all the tribes of Israel will cultivate it.(F) 20 The entire donation will be 13.25 kilometres by 13.25 kilometres; you are to set apart the holy donation along with the city property as a square area.
21 ‘The remaining area on both sides of the holy donation and the city property will belong to the prince.(G) He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, next to the 13.25 kilometres of the donation as far as the eastern border and[f] next to the 13.25 kilometres of the donation as far as the western border. The holy donation and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it. 22 Except for the Levitical property and the city property in the middle of the area belonging to the prince, the area between the territory of Judah and that of Benjamin will belong to the prince.(H)
23 ‘As for the rest of the tribes:
From the east side to the west, will be Benjamin – one portion.
24 Next to the territory of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, will be Simeon – one portion.
25 Next to the territory of Simeon, from the east side to the west, will be Issachar – one portion.
26 Next to the territory of Issachar, from the east side to the west, will be Zebulun – one portion.
27 Next to the territory of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, will be Gad – one portion.
28 Next to the territory of Gad towards the south side, the border will run from Tamar to the Waters(I) of Meribath-kadesh, to the Brook of Egypt, and out to the Mediterranean Sea. 29 This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to Israel’s tribes,(J) and these will be their portions.’ This is the declaration of the Lord God.
The New City
30 ‘These are the exits of the city:
On the north side, which measures 2.4 kilometres, 31 there will be three gates facing north, the gates of the city being named for the tribes of Israel: one, the gate of Reuben; one, the gate of Judah; and one, the gate of Levi.
32 On the east side, which is 2.4 kilometres, there will be three gates: one, the gate of Joseph; one, the gate of Benjamin; and one, the gate of Dan.
33 On the south side, which measures 2.4 kilometres, there will be three gates: one, the gate of Simeon; one, the gate of Issachar; and one, the gate of Zebulun.
34 On the west side, which is 2.4 kilometres, there will be three gates: one, the gate of Gad; one, the gate of Asher; and one, the gate of Naphtali.
35 The perimeter of the city will be 9.6 kilometres,[g] and the name of the city from that day on will be The Lord Is There.’(K)

Landet fordeles mellem stammerne
48 Det følgende er en fortegnelse over alle stammerne og det område, de hver især får tildelt:
Dans stamme: Fra det nordvestlige hjørne ved Middelhavet ind til Hetlon; derfra til Lebo-Hamat og videre til Hatzar-Enon på grænsen mellem Damaskus i syd og Hamat i nord. Det er en strimmel tværs over landet fra øst til vest. 2 Ashers område ligger syd for Dans med de samme grænser mod øst og vest. 3 Naftalis område ligger syd for Ashers med de samme grænser mod øst og vest. 4 Manasses område ligger syd for Naftalis med de samme grænser mod øst og vest. 5-7 Syd for Manasses område ligger Efraims, og derefter følger Rubens og Judas områder, alle med de samme grænser mod øst og vest.
8 Syd for Judas område ligger det landområde, som er til Herren, kongen og præsterne. Det har samme grænser mod øst og vest som stammeområderne, og er 12,5 km bredt. Templet skal placeres midt i præsternes jordstykke, 9 der er 12,5 km langt og 5 km bredt.
10 Rundt omkring templet får præsterne tildelt et jordstykke, der er 12,5 km langt på den nordlige og sydlige side af templet og 5 km bredt på den østlige og vestlige side. 11 De præster, der her er tale om, er Zadoks efterkommere, der ikke lod sig lokke til synd sådan som Israels folk og resten af Levis stamme. 12-13 Det skal være deres særlige arvelod af den hellige jord, når landet fordeles mellem stammerne. Ved siden af præsternes jord skal der være et jordstykke til de øvrige levitter. Det skal være 12,5 km langt og 5 km bredt. 14 Intet af den hellige jord må udstykkes til andre ved salg eller bytte, for den tilhører Herren.
15 Et jordstykke 12,5 km langt og 2,5 km bredt syd for den hellige jord skal tilhøre byen og bruges til boliger og græsgange, og byen skal ligge i midten. 16 Byen skal være 2,25 km på alle fire sider. 17 Uden om byen skal der afsættes en strimmel på 125 m til græsgang. 18 Den øvrige jord, de 5 km, som ligger vest for byen, og de 5 km, som ligger øst for byen langs den hellige jord, skal opdyrkes og brødføde byens befolkning. 19 Folk fra alle Israels stammer skal bo i byen og opdyrke jorden.
20 Den hellige jord og jorden til byen med tilstødende marker udgør tilsammen et kvadrat, der måler 12,5 km på hver led. 21-22 Jorden på vestsiden og østsiden af dette kvadrat, helt ud til landets grænser mod vest og øst, tilhører regenten, således at den hellige jord og byzonen ligger i midten. Det grænser til Judas område mod nord og til Benjamins område mod syd.
23 Syd for Herrens område ligger altså Benjamins område, og det strækker sig tværs over hele landet fra øst til vest. 24 Syd for Benjamins område ligger Simeons, som også strækker sig tværs over landet. 25-28 Derefter følger Issakars, Zebulons og Gads områder, der også strækker sig tværs over landet. Gads sydgrænse går fra Tamar i øst ned mod kilderne ved Meribat-Kadesh og følger derefter bækken, der danner grænse til Egypten, ud til Middelhavet. 29 Det er de jordlodder, som stammerne får i arv og eje, siger Gud Herren.
30-31 Hver af byens porte skal opkaldes efter en af Israels stammer. I den 2,25 km lange nordmur skal der være tre porte, som opkaldes efter Ruben, Juda og Levi. 32 I den 2,25 km lange østmur skal der være tre porte, som opkaldes efter Josef, Benjamin og Dan. 33 I den 2,25 km lange sydmur skal der være tre porte, som opkaldes efter Simeon, Issakar og Zebulon. 34 Og i den 2,25 km lange vestmur skal der være tre porte, som opkaldes efter Gad, Asher og Naftali.
35 Byens omkreds er 9 km, og byens navn skal herefter være ‚Herren er der’.”

The Division of the Land
48 “These are the tribes, listed by name: At the northern frontier, Dan(A) will have one portion; it will follow the Hethlon road(B) to Lebo Hamath;(C) 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(D) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Dan from east to west.
3 “Naphtali(E) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Asher from east to west.
4 “Manasseh(F) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.
5 “Ephraim(G) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Manasseh(H) from east to west.(I)
6 “Reuben(J) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.
7 “Judah(K) 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[a] wide, and its length from east to west will equal one of the tribal portions; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.(L)
9 “The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[b] wide.(M) 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.(N) 11 This will be for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites,(O) who were faithful in serving me(P) and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.(Q) 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.(R) 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.(S)
15 “The remaining area, 5,000 cubits[c] 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,[d] the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.(T) 17 The pastureland for the city will be 250 cubits[e] 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.(U) 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.(V) 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(W) will have one portion; it will extend from the east side to the west side.
24 “Simeon(X) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.
25 “Issachar(Y) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.
26 “Zebulun(Z) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.
27 “Gad(AA) 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(AB) to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.(AC)
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.(AD)
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.(AE)
35 “The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.[f]
“And the name of the city from that time on will be:
the Lord is there.(AF)”

48 These are the names of the tribes. Beginning at the northern border, Dan will have one part of the land. It will extend from the road to Hethlon to Hamath Pass and Hazar Enon, on the northern border of Damascus near Hamath, from the eastern border to the western border.
2 Asher will have one part of the land and border Dan on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
3 Naphtali will have one part of the land and border Asher on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
4 Manasseh will have one part of the land and border Naphtali on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
5 Ephraim will have one part of the land and border Manasseh on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
6 Reuben will have one part of the land and border Ephraim on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
7 Judah will have one part of the land and border Reuben on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
8 The land that you set aside as a special gift for the Lord will border Judah on the south. It will be 43,750 feet wide, and it will be as long as one of the sections of the tribes. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border, and the holy place will be in the middle of it.
9 This special land that you set aside for Yahweh will be 43,750 feet long and 17,500 feet wide. 10 This holy area will belong to the priests. On the north side it will be 43,750 feet long. On the west side it will be 17,500 feet wide. On the east side it will be 17,500 feet wide. On the south side it will be 43,750 feet long. Yahweh’s holy place will be in the middle of it. 11 This land that has been set apart will belong to the priests who are descendants of Zadok. They took care of my holy place. They didn’t wander away with the Israelites as the Levites did. 12 So they will have a special portion from the land. It will be the holiest part of land, next to the land belonging to the Levites.
13 Alongside the land belonging to the priests will be the land belonging to the Levites. It will be 43,750 feet long and 17,500 feet wide. 14 They must not sell any of it or trade any of it. They must not let others have the best part of the land, because the land is Yahweh’s and it is holy.
15 A strip of land, 8,750 feet wide by 43,750 feet long, will be left for cities, homes, and pastures. The city will be in the middle of it. 16 These will be the measurements for the city: On the north side it will be 7,875 feet long. On the south side it will be 7,875 feet long. On the east side it will be 7,875 feet wide. And on the west side it will be 7,875 feet wide. 17 The city’s pastureland will be 4,375 feet on the north, 4,375 feet on the south, 4,375 feet on the east, and 4,375 feet on the west. 18 The rest of the land borders the holy area and runs lengthwise. This land will be 17,500 feet on its east side and 17,500 feet on its west side. It will be used to provide food for the city workers. 19 City workers from all the tribes in Israel will farm it. 20 The whole area will be 43,750 feet square. You must give this land as a special gift to the Lord along with the city property.
21 Whatever is left on the east side and west side of the holy area and the city property will belong to the prince. This land will extend eastward from the holy area to the eastern border, and it will extend westward to the western border. Both of these areas are as long as one of the sections of the tribes. These areas belong to the prince, and the holy area with the holy place of the temple will be between them. 22 So the Levites’ property and the city’s property will be between the prince’s part of the land. What is between Judah’s and Benjamin’s boundaries will belong to the prince.
23 This is what the rest of the tribes will receive: Benjamin will have one part of the land. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
24 Simeon will have one part of the land and border Benjamin on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
25 Issachar will have one part of the land and border Simeon on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
26 Zebulun will have one part of the land and border Issachar on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
27 Gad will have one part of the land and border Zebulun on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border.
28 The southern border of Gad will run south from Tamar to the oasis at Meribah in Kadesh, and it will run along the Brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. 29 This is the land you will divide as your inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their areas, declares the Adonay Yahweh.
The New City of God
30 These will be the exits for the city: The north side will be 7,875 feet long. 31 The gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. The three gates on the north side will be Reuben Gate, Judah Gate, and Levi Gate.
32 The east side will be 7,875 feet long. The three gates on the east side will be Joseph Gate, Benjamin Gate, and Dan Gate.
33 The south side will be 7,875 feet long. The three gates on the south side will be Simeon Gate, Issachar Gate, and Zebulun Gate.
34 The west side will be 7,875 feet long. The three gates on the west side will be Gad Gate, Asher Gate, and Naphtali Gate.
35 The city will measure about 31,500 feet all the way around. From then on the city’s name will be: Yahweh Shammah.
