The Prophecy
of Ezechiel 48
And these are the names of the tribes from the borders
of the north, by the way of Hethalon, as they go to
Emath, the court of Enan the border of Damascus northward,
by the way of Emath. And from the east side thereof
to the sea, shall be one portion for Dan.
And by the border of Dan, from the east side even to
the side of the sea, one portion for Aser:
And by the border of Aser, from the east side even to
the side of the sea, one portion for Nephthali.
And by the border of Nephthali, from the east side even
to the side of the sea, one portion for Manasses.
And by the border of Manasses, from the east side even
to the side of the sea, one portion for Ephraim.
And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even
to the side of the sea, one portion for Ruben.
And by the border of Ruben, from the east side even
to the side of the sea, one portion for Juda.
And by the border of Juda, from the east side even to
the side of the sea, shall be the firstfruits which
you shall set apart, five and twenty thousand in breadth,
and in length, as every one of the portions from the
east side to the side of the sea: and the sanctuary
shall be in the midst thereof.
The firstfruits which you shall set apart for the Lord
: shall be the length of five and twenty thousand, and
the breadth of ten thousand.
And these shall be the firstfruits of the sanctuary
for the priests: toward the north five and twenty thousand
in length, and toward the sea ten thousand in breadth,
and toward the east also 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.
The sanctuary shall be for the priests of the sons of
Sadoc, who kept my ceremonies, and went not astray when
the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites also
went astray.
And for them shall be the firstfruits of the firstfruits
of the land holy of holies, by the border of the Levites.
And the Levites in like manner shall have by the borders
of the priests 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.
And they shall not sell thereof, nor exchange, neither
shall the firstfruits of the land be alienated, because
they are sanctified to the Lord.
But the five thousand that remain 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.
And these are the measures thereof: on the north side
four thousand and five hundred: and on the south side
four thousand and five hundred: and on the east side
four thousand and five hundred: and on the west side
four thousand and five hundred.
And the suburbs of the city shall be to the north two
hundred and fifty, and to the south two hundred and
fifty, and to the east two hundred and fifty, and to
the sea two hundred and fifty.
And the residue in length by the firstfruits of the
sanctuary, ten thousand toward the east, and ten thousand
toward the west, shall be as the firstfruits of the
sanctuary: and the fruits thereof shall be for bread
to them that serve the city.
And they that serve the city, shall serve it out of
all the tribes of Israel.
All the firstfruits, of five and twenty thousand, by
five and twenty thousand foursquare, shall be set apart
for the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and for the possession
of the city.
And the residue shall be for the prince on every side
of the firstfruits of the sanctuary, and of the possession
of the city over against the five and twenty thousand
of the firstfruits unto the east border: toward the
sea also over against the five and twenty thousand,
unto the border of the sea, shall likewise be the portion
of the prince: and the firstfruits of the sanctuary,
and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in the midst
thereof.
And from the possession of the Levites, and from the
possession of the city which ale in the midst of the
prince's portions: what shall be to the border of Juda,
and to the border of Benjamin, shall also belong to
the prince.
And for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to
the west side, one portion for Benjamin.
And over against the border of Benjamin, from the east
side to the west side, one portion for Simeon.
And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the
west side, one portion for Issachar.
And by the border of Issachar, from the east side to
the west side, one portion for Zabulon.
And by the border of Zabulon, from the east side to
the side of the sea, one portion for Gad.
And by the border of Gad, the south side southward:
and the border shah be from Thamar, even to the waters
of contradiction of Cades, the inheritance over against
the great sea.
This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the
tribes of Israel: and these are the portions of them,
saith the Lord God.
And these are the goings out of the city: on the north
side thou shalt measure four thousand and five hundred.
And the gates of the city according to the names of
the tribes of Israel, three gates on the north side,
the gate of Ruben one, the gate of Juda one, the gate
of Levi one.
And at the east side, four thousand and five hundred:
and three gates, the gate of Joseph one, the gate of
Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.
And at the south side, thou shalt measure four thousand
and five hundred: and three gates, the gate of Simeon
one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zabulon one.
And at the west side, four thousand and five hundred,
and their three gates, the gate of Gad one, the gate
of Aser one, the gate of Nephthali one.
Its circumference was eighteen thousand: and the name
of the city from that day, The Lord is there. |
