Ezequiel 48
Reina-Valera 1960
48 Estos son los nombres de las tribus: Desde el extremo norte por la vía de Hetlón viniendo a Hamat, Hazar-enán, en los confines de Damasco, al norte, hacia Hamat, tendrá Dan una parte, desde el lado oriental hasta el occidental. 2 Junto a la frontera de Dan, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, tendrá Aser una parte. 3 Junto al límite de Aser, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Neftalí, otra. 4 Junto al límite de Neftalí, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Manasés, otra. 5 Junto al límite de Manasés, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Efraín, otra. 6 Junto al límite de Efraín, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Rubén, otra. 7 Junto al límite de Rubén, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Judá, otra.
8 Junto al límite de Judá, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, estará la porción que reservaréis de veinticinco mil cañas de anchura, y de longitud como cualquiera de las otras partes, esto es, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar; y el santuario estará en medio de ella. 9 La porción que reservaréis para Jehová tendrá de longitud veinticinco mil cañas, y diez mil de ancho. 10 La porción santa que pertenecerá a los sacerdotes será de veinticinco mil cañas al norte, y de diez mil de anchura al occidente, y de diez mil de ancho al oriente, y de veinticinco mil de longitud al sur; y el santuario de Jehová estará en medio de ella. 11 Los sacerdotes santificados de los hijos de Sadoc que me guardaron fidelidad, que no erraron cuando erraron los hijos de Israel, como erraron los levitas, 12 ellos tendrán como parte santísima la porción de la tierra reservada, junto al límite de la de los levitas. 13 Y la de los levitas, al lado de los límites de la de los sacerdotes, será de veinticinco mil cañas de longitud, y de diez mil de anchura; toda la longitud de veinticinco mil, y la anchura de diez mil. 14 No venderán nada de ello, ni lo permutarán, ni traspasarán las primicias de la tierra; porque es cosa consagrada a Jehová.
15 Y las cinco mil cañas de anchura que quedan de las veinticinco mil, serán profanas, para la ciudad, para habitación y para ejido; y la ciudad estará en medio. 16 Estas serán sus medidas: al lado del norte cuatro mil quinientas cañas, al lado del sur cuatro mil quinientas, al lado del oriente cuatro mil quinientas, y al lado del occidente cuatro mil quinientas. 17 Y el ejido de la ciudad será al norte de doscientas cincuenta cañas, al sur de doscientas cincuenta, al oriente de doscientas cincuenta, y de doscientas cincuenta al occidente. 18 Y lo que quedare de longitud delante de la porción santa, diez mil cañas al oriente y diez mil al occidente, que será lo que quedará de la porción santa, será para sembrar para los que sirven a la ciudad. 19 Y los que sirvan a la ciudad serán de todas las tribus de Israel. 20 Toda la porción reservada de veinticinco mil cañas por veinticinco mil en cuadro, reservaréis como porción para el santuario, y para la posesión de la ciudad.
21 Y del príncipe será lo que quedare a uno y otro lado de la porción santa y de la posesión de la ciudad, esto es, delante de las veinticinco mil cañas de la porción hasta el límite oriental, y al occidente delante de las veinticinco mil hasta el límite occidental, delante de las partes dichas será del príncipe; porción santa será, y el santuario de la casa estará en medio de ella. 22 De este modo la parte del príncipe será la comprendida desde la porción de los levitas y la porción de la ciudad, entre el límite de Judá y el límite de Benjamín.
23 En cuanto a las demás tribus, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, tendrá Benjamín una porción. 24 Junto al límite de Benjamín, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Simeón, otra. 25 Junto al límite de Simeón, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Isacar, otra. 26 Junto al límite de Isacar, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Zabulón, otra. 27 Junto al límite de Zabulón, desde el lado del oriente hasta el lado del mar, Gad, otra. 28 Junto al límite de Gad, al lado meridional al sur, será el límite desde Tamar hasta las aguas de las rencillas, y desde Cades y el arroyo hasta el Mar Grande. 29 Esta es la tierra que repartiréis por suertes en heredad a las tribus de Israel, y estas son sus porciones, ha dicho Jehová el Señor.
30 Y estas son las salidas de la ciudad:(A) al lado del norte, cuatro mil quinientas cañas por medida. 31 Y las puertas de la ciudad serán según los nombres de las tribus de Israel: tres puertas al norte: la puerta de Rubén, una; la puerta de Judá, otra; la puerta de Leví, otra. 32 Al lado oriental cuatro mil quinientas cañas, y tres puertas: la puerta de José, una; la puerta de Benjamín, otra; la puerta de Dan, otra. 33 Al lado del sur, cuatro mil quinientas cañas por medida, y tres puertas: la puerta de Simeón, una; la puerta de Isacar, otra; la puerta de Zabulón, otra. 34 Y al lado occidental cuatro mil quinientas cañas, y sus tres puertas: la puerta de Gad, una; la puerta de Aser, otra; la puerta de Neftalí, otra. 35 En derredor tendrá dieciocho mil cañas. Y el nombre de la ciudad desde aquel día será Jehová-sama.[a]

New English Translation
The Tribal Portions
48 “These are the names of the tribes: From the northern end beside the road of Hethlon to Lebo Hamath, as far as Hazar Enan (which is on the border of Damascus, toward the north beside Hamath), extending from the east side to the west, Dan will have one portion. 2 Next to the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher[a] will have one portion. 3 Next to the border of Asher from the east side to the west side, Naphtali will have one portion. 4 Next to the border of Naphtali from the east side to the west side, Manasseh will have one portion. 5 Next to the border of Manasseh from the east side to the west side, Ephraim will have one portion. 6 Next to the border of Ephraim from the east side to the west side, Reuben will have one portion. 7 Next to the border of Reuben from the east side to the west side, Judah[b] will have one portion.
8 “Next to the border of Judah from the east side to the west side will be the allotment you must set apart. It is to be 8¼ miles[c] wide, and the same length as one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west side; the sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 9 The allotment you set apart to the Lord will be 8¼ miles[d] in length and 3⅓ miles[e] in width. 10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north 8¼ miles[f] in length, toward the west 3⅓ miles[g] in width, toward the east 3⅓ miles[h] in width, and toward the south 8¼ miles[i] in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle. 11 This will be for the priests who are set apart from the descendants of Zadok who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel strayed off, as the Levites did.[j] 12 It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a Most Holy Place, next to the border of the Levites.
13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment 8¼ miles[k] in length and 3⅓ miles[l] in width. The whole length will be 8¼ miles[m] and the width 3⅓ miles.[n] 14 They must not sell or exchange any of it; they must not transfer this choice portion of land, for it is set apart[o] to the Lord.
15 “The remainder, 1⅔ miles[p] in width and 8¼ miles[q] in length, will be for common use by the city, for houses and for open space. The city will be in the middle of it; 16 these will be its measurements: The north side will be 1½ miles,[r] the south side 1½ miles, the east side 1½ miles, and the west side 1½ miles. 17 The city will have open spaces: On the north there will be 437½ feet,[s] on the south 437½ feet, on the east 437½ feet, and on the west 437½ feet. 18 The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment will be 3⅓ miles[t] to the east and 3⅓ miles toward the west, and it will be beside the holy allotment. Its produce will be for food for the workers of the city. 19 The workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel will cultivate it. 20 The whole allotment will be 8¼ miles[u] square; you must set apart the holy allotment with the possession of the city.
21 “The rest, on both sides of the holy allotment and the property of the city, will belong to the prince. Extending from the 8¼ miles[v] of the holy allotment to the east border, and westward from the 8¼ miles[w] to the west border, alongside the portions, it will belong to the prince. The holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it. 22 The property of the Levites and of the city will be in the middle of that which belongs to the prince. The portion between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin will be for the prince.
23 “As for the rest of the tribes: From the east side to the west side, Benjamin will have one portion. 24 Next to the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon will have one portion. 25 Next to the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar will have one portion. 26 Next to the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun will have one portion. 27 Next to the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad will have one portion. 28 Next to the border of Gad, at the south side, the border will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, to the Stream of Egypt,[x] and on to the Great Sea. 29 This is the land that you will allot to the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, declares the Sovereign Lord.
30 “These are the exits of the city: On the north side, 1½ miles[y] by measure, 31 the gates of the city[z] will be named for the tribes of Israel. There will be three gates to the north: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi. 32 On the east side, 1½ miles in length, there will be three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan. 33 On the south side, 1½ miles by measure, there will be three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun. 34 On the west side, 1½ miles in length, there will be three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali. 35 The circumference of the city will be 6 miles.[aa] The name of the city from that day forward will be: ‘The Lord Is There.’”[ab]

New International Version
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)”
