1「以下是各支派分得的土地：
「但的地業在北部——從希特倫經哈馬口到大馬士革邊界的哈撒·以難，北面靠近哈馬，橫跨東西。 2亞設的地業從東到西與北面的但的地業接壤。 3拿弗他利的地業從東到西與亞設的地業接壤。 4瑪拿西的地業從東到西與拿弗他利的地業接壤。 5以法蓮的地業從東到西與瑪拿西的地業接壤。 6呂便的地業從東到西與以法蓮的地業接壤。 7猶大的地業從東到西與呂便的地業接壤。
8「猶大邊界以南將是你們劃分出來的那塊地，寬十二點五公里，由東至西的長度與其他各支派的地相同，聖殿在那塊地的中央。 9你們獻給耶和華的聖地長十二點五公里、寬五公里， 10南北面各長十二點五公里，東西面各寬五公里。聖殿在這塊地的中央。 11這塊地要歸給撒督的子孫——忠心事奉我的聖潔祭司。當以色列人和利未人走入歧途時，他們沒有與之同流合污。 12這塊地要歸給他們。這是至聖之地，與利未人所得的地業相鄰。 13利未人的地長十二點五公里，寬五公里，與祭司的地相同。 14他們不可把這塊地出賣或交換，不可歸給他人，因為它是以色列最好的地，是歸給耶和華的聖地。
15「剩下的十二點五公里長、二點五公里寬的地方是公用的，用來建城邑、房屋和草場，城要建在地的中央。 16城是正方形的，東、西、南、北各長二點二五公里。 17城四周要有草場，東西南北各長一百二十五米， 18與聖地相鄰，城外東西兩側剩下的地各長五公里，地裡的出產用來供應城內的工人。 19所有在這城裡做工的以色列各支派的人都要耕種這片土地。 20你們所獻的這塊聖地和城區是方形的，四面各長十二點五公里。
21「聖地和城區東西兩邊的餘地要歸君王。兩邊的餘地從聖地十二點五公里寬的東西邊界開始，沿各支派所分的地，分別向東向西延伸到以色列的東界和西界。聖地和聖殿在地的中央。 22利未人的產業和城區在君王土地的中央，君王的土地在猶大和便雅憫支派之間。
23「以下是其他各支派所分的地業：
「便雅憫的地業從東跨到西。 24西緬的地業從東到西與便雅憫的地業接壤。 25以薩迦的地業從東到西與西緬的地業接壤。 26西布倫的地業從東到西與以薩迦的地業接壤。 27迦得的地業從東到西與西布倫的地業接壤。 28迦得的南界是從他瑪經米利巴·加低斯泉和埃及小河，一直到地中海。 29這就是你們要抽籤分給以色列各支派的土地，作為他們的產業。這是主耶和華說的。
30「城北面的牆是二點五公里長。以下是城的各個出口。 31城門都按以色列的各支派命名。城北面的三道門分別是呂便門、猶大門和利未門。 32東面的牆是二點五公里長，有三道門，分別是約瑟門、便雅憫門和但門。 33南面的牆是二點五公里長，有三道門，分別是西緬門、以薩迦門和西布倫門。 34西面的牆是二點五公里長，有三道門，分別是迦得門、亞設門和拿弗他利門。 35城的四周共長十公里，從那時起，這城必叫『耶和華的居所』。」
The Division of the Land
1“These are the tribes, listed by name: At the northern frontier, Dan will have one portion; it will follow the Hethlon road to Lebo Hamath; 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 will have one portion; it will border the territory of Dan from east to west.
3“Naphtali will have one portion; it will border the territory of Asher from east to west.
4“Manasseh will have one portion; it will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.
5“Ephraim will have one portion; it will border the territory of Manasseh from east to west.
6“Reuben will have one portion; it will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.
7“Judah 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 cubits48:8 That is, about 8 miles or about 13 kilometers; also in verses 9, 10, 13, 15, 20 and 21 wide, and its length from east to west will equal one of the tribal portions; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.
9“The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits48:9 That is, about 3 1/3 miles or about 5.3 kilometers; also in verses 10, 13 and 18 wide. 10This 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. 11This will be for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites, who were faithful in serving me and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray. 12It 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. 14They 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.
15“The remaining area, 5,000 cubits48:15 That is, about 1 2/3 miles or about 2.7 kilometers 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 16and will have these measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits,48:16 That is, about 1 1/2 miles or about 2.4 kilometers; also in verses 30, 32, 33 and 34 the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits. 17The pastureland for the city will be 250 cubits48:17 That is, about 440 feet or about 135 meters on the north, 250 cubits on the south, 250 cubits on the east, and 250 cubits on the west. 18What 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. 19The workers from the city who farm it will come from all the tribes of Israel. 20The 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. 22So 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 will have one portion; it will extend from the east side to the west side.
24“Simeon will have one portion; it will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.
25“Issachar will have one portion; it will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.
26“Zebulun will have one portion; it will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.
27“Gad 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 to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.
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.
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, 31the 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.
35“The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.48:35 That is, about 6 miles or about 9.5 kilometers
“And the name of the city from that time on will be:
the Lord is there.”
