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].«

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)”

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.”
