Ezekiel 48
Common English Bible
48 These are the tribes’ names: Beginning at the north, along the Hethlon road from Lebo-hamath to Hazar-enon, the boundary of Damascus with Hamath to the north, from the eastern border to the western border: Dan, one portion. 2 Along the boundary of Dan from the eastern border to the western border: Asher, one portion. 3 Along the boundary of Asher from the eastern border to the western border: Naphtali, one portion. 4 Along the boundary of Naphtali from the eastern border to the western border: Manasseh, one portion. 5 Along the boundary of Manasseh from the eastern border to the western border: Ephraim, one portion. 6 Along the boundary of Ephraim from the eastern border to the western border: Reuben, one portion. 7 Along the boundary of Reuben from the eastern border to the western border: Judah, one portion.
8 Along the boundary of Judah from the eastern border to the western border will be the portion that you will set aside, 7.1 miles wide and the length of a tribal portion from the eastern border to the western border. The sanctuary is in its center. 9 The portion that you will set aside for the Lord will be 7.1 miles long and 5.68 miles[a] wide. 10 These measurements define the holy portion for the priests: along the north, a length of 7.1 miles; along the west, a width of 2.84 miles; along the east, a width of 2.84 miles; and along the south, a length of 7.1 miles. The Lord’s sanctuary is in its center. 11 This holy area is for the Zadokite priests who kept my charge and didn’t stray as the Levites did when the house of Israel strayed away from me. 12 It belongs to them as a most special portion of the land, a most holy place, up to the border of the Levites. 13 The Levites’ allotment is next to the boundary of the priests, a length of 7.1 miles and a width of 2.84 miles. The entire length is 7.1 miles and the width 2.84 miles. 14 None of it will be sold, exchanged, or transferred. It is the choicest land, because it is holy to the Lord. 15 The remaining area, 1.42 miles wide and 7.1 miles long, is for ordinary use for the city, for residences, and for pastures. The city will be in the middle of it. 16 It measures 1.28 miles on its northern border, 1.28 miles on its southern border, 1.28 miles on its eastern border, and 1.28 miles on its western border. 17 There will be pastures for the city, three hundred seventy-five feet on the north side, three hundred seventy-five feet on the south side, three hundred seventy-five feet on the east side, and three hundred seventy-five feet on the west side. 18 The remaining area alongside the holy portion is 2.84 miles on the east and 2.84 miles on the west. These areas that adjoin the holy portion will produce the food for the city’s workers. 19 The city’s workers from every tribe of Israel will farm it. 20 The entire portion that you will set aside is 7.1 miles by 7.1 miles, a square; it includes the holy portion in addition to the city property. 21 What is left on both sides of the holy portion and the city property belongs to the prince. The land from the edge of the portion of 7.1 miles, to the eastern boundary, and on the western edge of the 7.1 miles to the western boundary, belongs to the prince. It corresponds to one tribal portion. The holy portion and the temple sanctuary are in the middle of it, 22 but what belongs to the prince is separate from both the levitical property and the city property. The prince’s territory will be between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin.
23 Now for the rest of the tribes: From the eastern border to the western border: Benjamin, one portion. 24 Along the boundary of Benjamin from the eastern border to the western border: Simeon, one portion. 25 Along the boundary of Simeon from the eastern border to the western border: Issachar, one portion. 26 Along the boundary of Issachar from the eastern border to the western border: Zebulun, one portion. 27 Along the boundary of Zebulun from the eastern border to the western border: Gad, one portion. 28 Along the boundary of Gad to the southern border, the boundary will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh and from there to the border of Egypt[b] and to the Mediterranean Sea.[c] 29 This is the land that you will distribute as an inheritance for the tribes of Israel. These are their portions. This is what the Lord God says.
30 These are the city exits. The north side is measured at 1.28 miles. 31 The gates of the city go by the names of the tribes of Israel. There are three gates on the north side: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi. 32 There are three gates on the east side along its 1.28 miles: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan. 33 There are three gates on the south side measuring 1.28 miles: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun. 34 There are three gates on the west side along its 1.28 miles: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali. 35 The circumference of the city is 5.1 miles. As of today, the name of the city is The Lord Is There.

Podjela zemlje među plemenima
48 »Izraelska će se plemena razmjestiti od sjevera do juga. Sjeverna granica ide od morske obale prema istoku, u smjeru Hetlona, prema Hamatskom prolazu, pa sve do Hasar Enana, koji se nalazi na granici između Damaska i Hamata. Svako će pleme dobiti komad zemlje koji se proteže od istočne granice do morske obale na zapadu. Počevši od sjevera, prvi će komad zemlje pripasti Danu. 2 Južno od Dana slijedi područje Ašera, 3 koje se potom nastavlja Naftalijevim područjem. 4 Uza zemlju Naftalijevog plemena, idući dalje na jug, Manašeovo je područje. 5 Slijedi Efrajimova zemlja, 6 a nakon Efrajima dolazi Ruben. 7 Potom slijedi teritorij Judinog plemena.
Poseban središnji dio zemlje
8 Uz granicu s Judinom zemljom nalazit će se posebno izdvojeno područje koje će se u smjeru sjever-jug protezati u širini od dvanaest i pol kilometara[a]. To će zemljište u smjeru istok-zapad biti jednake dužine kao i dijelovi koji se dodjeljuju pojedinim plemenima. Usred tog područja bit će smješteno hramsko područje. 9 Ovaj dio zemlje treba odvojiti za BOGA. Bit će dvanaest i pol kilometara dugačak i deset kilometara[b] širok. 10 Razdijelit će se između svećenika i Levita.
Svećenici će dobiti dio čija se sjeverna i južna granica proteže u dužini od dvanaest i pol kilometara, dok sa zapada i istoka mjeri pet kilometara. BOŽJE će hramsko područje biti u sredini tog područja. 11 Zemlja je to za svećenike, Sadokove potomke, koji su vjerno obavljali čuvarsku dužnost za mene i onda kad me napustio narod Izraela. Oni nisu zastranili, poput drugih ljudi iz Levijevog plemena. 12 Taj dio svete zemlje pripada samo njima i nalazi se odmah uz područje Levita.
13 Uz područje, koje pripada svećenicima, nalazi se zemlja za Levite. Njihovo je zemljište također dugo dvanaest i pol, a široko pet kilometara. Zemlja za svećenike i Levite je, dakle, ukupno dugačka dvanaest i pol kilometara, a široka deset kilometara. 14 Taj je najbolji dio zemlje posvećen BOGU i ne smije se prodavati, razmjenjivati niti prenositi drugima u vlasništvo.
Gradski posjed
15 Preostali dio zemlje, širok dva i pol kilometra, koji se također proteže u dužini od dvanaest i pol kilometara, dat će se gradu na običnu uporabu, za ispašu stoke i gradnju kuća. Usred toga preostalog dijela bit će grad. 16 Dimenzije su grada dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara na sjevernoj strani, dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara na južnoj strani, dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara na istočnoj strani i dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara na zapadnoj strani. 17 Na sve četiri strane oko grada neka bude čistina široka sto dvadeset i pet metara. 18 Na granici svetog područja izvan grada preostaje pet kilometara na istočnoj i pet kilometara na zapadnoj strani. Na toj će se zemlji uzgajati hrana za gradske radnike. 19 Moći će je obrađivati gradski radnici koji su došli iz svih izraelskih plemena.
20 Ovaj je poseban dio zemlje, dakle, kvadrat sa stranicama od dvanaest i pol kilometara, što uključuje sveti dio za svećenike i Levite, kao i običan dio za grad.
21 Dio zemlje, koji ostane s obje strane svetog i gradskog područja, pripast će vladaru. S jedne strane, protezat će se dvanaest i pol kilometara od svetog područja do istočne granice, a s druge strane, dvanaest i pol kilometara do zapadne granice. Sveti dio zemlje, sa svetim hramskim područjem, bit će između dijelova koji pripadaju vladaru. 22 Vladareva zemlja bit će odvojena od levitskog i gradskog područja. Vladareva zemlja bit će između granice s Judom na sjeveru i s Benjaminom na jugu.
23 Na jug, od svetog dijela zemlje, nižu se područja koja će pripasti preostalim izraelskim plemenima. Svako će pleme dobiti komad zemlje koji se proteže od istočne granice do morske obale na zapadu. Prvi dio pripada Benjaminu. 24 Slijedi Šimunova zemlja, 25 a potom područje koje će naseliti Isakar. 26 Zebulunu će pripasti zemlja uz Isakarovo područje, 27 dok je sljedeća Gadova zemlja.
28 Južna granica Gadove zemlje proteže se od Tamara do oaze u Meriba Kadešu, potom duž Egipatskog potoka do Sredozemnog mora. 29 Zemlja je to koja će se razdijeliti među izraelskim plemenima i dijelovi koje pojedina plemena dobivaju u posjed.« Tako je rekao Gospodar BOG.
Jeruzalemska vrata
30 »Gradska će vrata biti pravilno raspoređena duž gradskih zidina.
Na sjevernoj strani grada, čija dužina iznosi dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara, 31 nalazit će se troja vrata nazvana imenima izraelskih plemena. Troja sjeverna gradska vrata zvat će se Rubenova, Judina i Levijeva vrata.
32 Istočna strana grada također se proteže u dužini od dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara i ima troja vrata: Josipova, Benjaminova i Danova.
33 Južna strana, dužine dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara, također ima troja vrata: Šimunova, Isakarova i Zebulunova.
34 Zapadna strana, dužine dvije tisuće dvjesto i pedeset metara, također ima troja vrata: Gadova, Ašerova i Naftalijeva.
35 Ukupna dužina gradskih zidina iznosi devet kilometara. Od sada pa nadalje, ime grada bit će ‘BOG je tamo’[c].«

King James Version
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.

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.
