Ezekiel 48:19-35 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

19. “And the workers of the city, from all the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, shall till it.

20. “The entire contribution is twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits, foursquare. You are to offer up the set-apart contribution with the possession of the city.

21. “And the rest is for the prince, on one side and on the other of the set-apart contribution and of the possession of the city, facing the twenty-five thousand cubits of the set-apart contribution as far as the eastern border, and westward facing the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border, alongside the portions of the prince. And the set-apart contribution, and the set-apart place of the House shall be in its midst.

22. “So the possession of the Lĕwites and the possession of the city are in the midst of what belongs to the prince – between the border of Yehuḏah and the border of Binyamin, it belongs to the prince.

23. “As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west side, Binyamin: one.

24. “And by the border of Binyamin, from the east side to the west side, Shim‛on: one.

25. “And by the border of Shim‛on, from the east side to the west side, Yissasḵar: one.

26. “And by the border of Yissasḵar, from the east side to the west side, Zeḇulun: one.

27. “And by the border of Zeḇulun, from the east side to the west side, Gaḏ: one.

28. “And by the border of Gaḏ, on the south side toward the South, the border shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meriḇah by Qaḏĕsh, along the Wadi to the Great Sea.

29. “This is the land which you divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, and these are their portions,” declares the Master יהוה.

30. “And these are the exits of the city, the gates of the city according to the names of the tribes of Yisra’ĕl: On the north side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits,

31. the three gates northward: one gate for Re’uḇĕn, one gate for Yehuḏah, one gate for Lĕwi.

32. “And on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Yosĕph, one gate for Binyamin, one gate for Dan.

33. “And on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Shim‛on, one gate for Yissasḵar, one gate for Zeḇulun.

34. “And on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one gate for Gaḏ, one gate for Ashĕr, one gate for Naphtali.

35. “All around: eighteen thousand cubits. And the name of the city from that day is: יהוה is there!”
