Ezekiel 48
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
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)
Йезекиил 48
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Разпределение на земята между племената
48 Това са имената на племената. На северния край близо до Хетлоновия път, Емат и Хацер-Енон, който е до границата на Дамаск, северно от Емат, от изток до запад да е един дял на Дан. 2 До областта на Дан, от източния край до западния, един дял на Асир. 3 До Асировата граница, от източния край до западния, да е един дял на Нефталим. 4 До Нефталимовата граница, от източния край до западния, да е един дял на Манасия. 5 До Манасиевата граница, от източния край до западния, да е един дял на Ефрем. 6 До Ефремовата граница, от източния край до западния, да е един дял на Рувим. 7 До Рувимовата граница, от източния край до западния, да е един дял на Юда.
Участък земя за светилището, свещениците и левитите
8 (A)И до Юдовата граница, от източния край до западния, да е свещеният принос – двадесет и пет хиляди лакътя ширина и дължина, както другите дялове от източния край до западния. Сред него да бъде светилището. 9 Делът, който ще отделите на Господа, на дължина да е двадесет и пет хиляди лакътя, а на ширина – десет хиляди. 10 Този свещен дял да е за свещениците, дълъг към север двадесет и пет хиляди лакътя и широк към запад и към изток по десет хиляди, и дълъг към юг двадесет и пет хиляди. И светилището на Господа да е сред него. 11 (B)Това да посветите за свещениците, потомци на Садок, които спазваха вярно Моите предписания и които, за разлика от левитите, не отстъпиха от Мене, когато Израилевите синове се заблудиха. 12 Този дял от земята, отделена от свещения дял, да е най-свята до предела на левитите. 13 Левитите да получат дела покрай свещеническия предел – дълъг двадесет и пет хиляди лакътя и широк десет хиляди. Цялата дължина да бъде двадесет и пет хиляди, а ширината – десет хиляди лакътя. 14 От него да не могат да продават, нито да заменят. И първите плодове не могат да преминават у други, понеже това е светиня на Господа.
Мястото за града и делът на княза
15 „А останалите пет хиляди на ширина и двадесет и пет хиляди на дължина да са за общо използване. Те са за града, за заселване и за свободно поле. Градът да бъде по средата. 16 (C)Тези са размерите му: северната страна е четири хиляди и петстотин лакътя, южната страна – четири хиляди и петстотин, източната страна – четири хиляди и петстотин и западната страна – четири хиляди и петстотин лакътя. 17 А полето да е на север двеста и петдесет, на юг двеста и петдесет, на изток двеста и петдесет и на запад двеста и петдесет. 18 Остатъкът надлъж до свещения дял да е десет хиляди на изток и десет хиляди на запад. Произведеното там да е за прехрана на онези, които работят в града. 19 Работещите в града, идващи от всички Израилеви племена, да го обработват. 20 Целият отделен дял да е квадратен: двадесет и пет хиляди лакътя на двадесет и пет хиляди. Отделете свещения дял заедно с владението на града.
21 Останалото да е за княза – от двете страни на свещения дял и на владението на града. Князът да притежава земята по протежение на племенните дялове, от двадесет и пет хиляди лакътя чак до източната граница; на запад от двадесет и пет хиляди лакътя чак до западната граница. Свещеният дял и светилището да са посред нея. 22 Онова, което остава от левитското владение и от владението на града, които са по средата, е за княза – в областта между границата на Юда и границата на Вениамин да бъде на княза.
Граници на разпределената земя
23 За останалите племена: от източния край до западния един дял е за Вениамин. 24 До Вениаминовата граница, от източния край до западния, е един дял за Симеон. 25 До Симеоновата граница, от източния край до западния, е един дял за Исахар. 26 До Исахаровата граница, от източния край до западния, е един дял за Завулон. 27 До Завулоновата граница, от източния край до западния, е един дял за Гад. 28 И до Гадовата граница на южната страна е южният предел от Тамар до водите на Мерива при Кадес, до Египетския поток и Средиземно море. 29 Тази е земята, която ще разпределите по жребий между Израилевите племена. Тези са дяловете им“, възвестява Господ Бог.
Портите на святия Йерусалим. Името му „Господ е там“
30 „А тези са изходните страни на града: на северната страна размерът е хиляда и петстотин лакътя. 31 (D)Да има три порти на града, наречени с имената на Израилевите племена: една порта Рувимова, една Юдова, една Левиева. 32 На източната страна от четири хиляди и петстотин лакътя да има три порти: една Йосифова порта, една Вениаминова, една Данова. 33 На южната страна, чийто размер е четири хиляди и петстотин лакътя, да има три порти: една Симеонова порта, една Исахарова и една Завулонова. 34 На западната страна от четири хиляди и петстотин лакътя да има три порти: една Гадова порта, една Асирова порта и една Нефталимова порта. 35 Обиколката да бъде осемнадесет хиляди лакътя. И от онзи ден името на града да бъде ‘Господ е там’.“
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.”
