19. And those who serve the city will be taken from all the tribes of Israel.
20. All the first-fruits, of the twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand square, shall be separated as the first-fruits of the sanctuary and as the possession of the city.
21. And what will remain shall be for the prince out of every portion of the first-fruits of the sanctuary and of the possession of the city, from the region of the twenty-five thousand of the first-fruits, even to the eastern border. But also to the sea from the region of the twenty-five thousand, even to the border of the sea, similarly shall be the portion of the prince. And the first-fruits of the sanctuary, and the sanctuary of the temple, shall be in its center.
22. Now from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, which are in the midst of the prince's portions, whatever is between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall also belong to the prince.
23. And for the remainder of the tribes, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Benjamin.
24. And opposite the border of Benjamin, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Simeon.
25. And beyond the border of Simeon, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Issachar.
26. And beyond the border of Issachar, from the eastern region, even to the western region, there shall be one portion for Zebulun.
27. And beyond the border of Zebulun, from the eastern region, even to the region of the sea, there shall be one portion for Gad.
28. And beyond the border of Gad, toward the southern region, in the meridian, the last part shall be from Tamar, even to the Waters of Contradiction at Kadesh, as the inheritance opposite the great sea.
29. This is the land that you shall distribute by lot to the tribes of Israel, and these shall be their portions, says the Lord God.
