1 These are the names of the tribes: from the northern end, close to the road to Hethlon leading to Hamath, Hazar-enan, at the boundary of Damascus, northward beside Hamath. And this shall be its eastern and western boundaries: Dan, one portion.

Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.

8 Next to the territory of Judah, from the eastern border to the western border, shall be the portion you set apart as a special contribution, 25,000 cubits wide and as long as the portions from east to west; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.

And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

9 The special contribution that you shall set apart for the Lord shall measure 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 cubits in width.

The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.

And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east 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.

11 It shall be for the consecrated priests of the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary and did not go astray when the Israelites and the Levites did.

It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 Their portion shall be the special offering given from the land, a most holy portion, next to the territory of the Levites.

And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.

13 The Levites shall have a portion parallel to the territory of the priests, measuring 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. Its total length shall be 25,000 cubits, and its width shall be 10,000 cubits.

And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have 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.

14 This land must not be sold, exchanged, or transferred, for it is holy to the Lord; it is set apart as the firstfruits of the land.

And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.

15 The remaining area, which is 5,000 cubits in width and 25,000 cubits long, shall be considered common land for the city, for dwelling places, and for open spaces. The city itself shall be in the midst of it.

And the five thousand, that are left 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.

16 These are its measurements: the northern side shall be 4,500 cubits wide, the southern side 4,500 cubits, the eastern side 4,500 cubits, and the western side 4,500 cubits.

And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.

18 The remaining area, running along the length of the holy contribution, is 10,000 cubits to the east and 10,000 cubits to the west. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.

And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.

19 The workers of the city, recruited from all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

20 The entire contribution shall measure 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits, forming a square, and this will include the holy portion and the city’s property.

All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.

21 The remaining land on both sides of the holy contribution and the city property will belong to the prince. It will extend eastward to the border and westward to the border, equal to the portions of the tribes. The holy contribution and the sanctuary of the temple will be in its midst.

And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.

22 The property of the Levites and the city’s property, located in the midst of the prince’s land, shall be between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin. This area shall belong to the prince.

Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.

23 As for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin shall have one portion, extending from the eastern boundary to the western boundary.

29 This is the land you shall divide as an inheritance for the tribes of Israel, and these shall be their portions, declares the Lord GOD.

This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
