8And by the borderH1366 of JudahH3063, from the eastH6921 sideH6285 unto the westH3220 sideH6285, shall beH1961 the oblation which ye shall offerH7311, fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 reeds in breadthH7341, and in lengthH753 as oneH259 of the portionsH2506, from the eastH6921 sideH6285 unto the westH3220 sideH6285: and the sanctuaryH4720 shall beH1961 in the midstH8432 of it. 9The oblation that ye shall offerH7311 unto Jehovah shall be fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 reeds in lengthH753, and tenH6235 thousandH505 in breadthH7341. 10And for these, even for the priestsH3548, shall beH1961 the holyH6944 oblation; toward the northH6828 fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in lengthH753, and toward the westH3220 tenH6235 thousandH505 in breadthH7341, and toward the eastH6921 tenH6235 thousandH505 in breadthH7341, and toward the southH5045 fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in lengthH753: and the sanctuaryH4720 of Jehovah shall beH1961 in the midstH8432 thereof. 11It shall be for the priestsH3548 that are sanctifiedH6942 of the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that have keptH8104 my chargeH4931, that wentH8582 not astrayH8582 whenH834 the children of IsraelH3478 wentH8582 astrayH8582, as the LevitesH3881 wentH8582 astrayH8582. 12And it shall beH1961 unto them an oblation from the oblation of the landH776, a thingH6944 most holyH6944, by the borderH1366 of the LevitesH3881.
13And answerable unto the borderH1366 of the priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881 shall have fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in lengthH753, and tenH6235 thousandH505 in breadthH7341: all the lengthH753 shall be fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505, and the breadthH7341 tenH6235 thousandH505. 14And they shall sellH4376 none of it, nor exchangeH4171 it, nor shall the first-fruits of the landH776 be alienated; for it is holyH6944 unto Jehovah.
15And the fiveH2568 thousandH505 that are leftH3498 in the breadthH7341, in front of the fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505, shall beH1961 for common use, for the cityH5892, for dwellingH4186 and for suburbs; and the cityH5892 shall beH1961 in the midstH8432 thereof. 16And these shall be the measures thereof: the northH6828 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967, and the southH5045 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967, and on the eastH6921 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967, and the westH3220 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967. 17And the cityH5892 shall have suburbs: toward the northH6828 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and toward the southH5045 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and toward the eastH6921 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and toward the westH3220 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572. 18And the residue in the lengthH753, answerable unto the holyH6944 oblation, shall beH1961 tenH6235 thousandH505 eastward, and tenH6235 thousandH505 westward; and it shall beH1961 answerable unto the holyH6944 oblation; and the increase thereof shall beH1961 for foodH3899 unto them that laborH5647 in the cityH5892. 19And they that laborH5647 in the cityH5892, out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, shall till it. 20All the oblation shall be fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 by fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505: ye shall offerH7311 the holyH6944 oblation foursquare, with the possessionH272 of the cityH5892.
21And the residue shall beH1961 for the princeH5387, on the oneH2088 side and on the other of the holyH6944 oblation and of the possessionH272 of the cityH5892; in front of the fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 of the oblation toward the eastH6921 borderH1366, and westward in front of the fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 toward the westH3220 borderH1366, answerable unto the portionsH2506, it shall beH1961 for the princeH5387: and the holyH6944 oblation and the sanctuaryH4720 of the houseH1004 shall beH1961 in the midstH8432 thereof. 22Moreover from the possessionH272 of the LevitesH3881, and from the possessionH272 of the cityH5892, being in the midstH8432 of that which is the prince’s, between the borderH1366 of JudahH3063 and the borderH1366 of BenjaminH1144, it shall beH1961 for the princeH5387.
23And as for the restH3499 of the tribesH7626: from the eastH6921 sideH6285 unto the westH3220 sideH6285, BenjaminH1144, oneH259 portion. 24And by the borderH1366 of BenjaminH1144, from the eastH6921 sideH6285 unto the westH3220 sideH6285, SimeonH8095, oneH259 portion. 25And by the borderH1366 of SimeonH8095, from the eastH6921 sideH6285 unto the westH3220 sideH6285, IssacharH3485, oneH259 portion. 26And by the borderH1366 of IssacharH3485, from the eastH6921 sideH6285 unto the westH3220 sideH6285, ZebulunH2074, oneH259 portion. 27And by the borderH1366 of ZebulunH2074, from the eastH6921 sideH6285 unto the westH3220 sideH6285, GadH1410, oneH259 portion. 28And by the borderH1366 of GadH1410, at the southH5045 sideH6285 southward, the borderH1366 shall beH1961 even from TamarH8559 unto the watersH4325 of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, unto the greatH1419 seaH3220. 29This is the landH776 which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 for inheritanceH5159, and these are their several portions, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
30And these are the egresses of the cityH5892: On the northH6828 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reeds by measure; 31and the gatesH8179 of the cityH5892 shall be after the namesH8034 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, threeH7969 gatesH8179 northward: the gateH8179 of ReubenH7205, oneH259; the gateH8179 of JudahH3063, oneH259; the gateH8179 of LeviH3878, oneH259. 32And at the eastH6921 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reeds, and threeH7969 gatesH8179: even the gateH8179 of JosephH3130, oneH259; the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, oneH259; the gateH8179 of DanH1835, oneH259. 33And at the southH5045 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reeds by measure, and threeH7969 gatesH8179: the gateH8179 of SimeonH8095, oneH259; the gateH8179 of IssacharH3485, oneH259; the gateH8179 of ZebulunH2074, oneH259. 34At the westH3220 sideH6285 fourH702 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 reeds, with their threeH7969 gatesH8179: the gateH8179 of GadH1410, oneH259; the gateH8179 of AsherH836, oneH259; the gateH8179 of NaphtaliH5321, oneH259. 35It shall be eighteen thousandH505 reeds roundH5439 about: and the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 from that dayH3117 shall be, Jehovah is there.
