The Gates of the New City

30 These are the exits of the city on the north side, four thousand five hundred cubits by measurement. 31 The gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

32 At the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, shall be three gates: one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.

33 At the south side, four thousand five hundred cubits[a] by measurement, shall be three gates: one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.

34 At the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits, shall be three gates: one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.

35 The circumference shall be eighteen thousand cubits.[b]

And the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord Is There.
