Ezekiel 48:6-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. “And by the border of Ephrayim, from the east side to the west, Re’uḇĕn: one.

7. “And by the border of Re’uḇĕn, from the east side to the west, Yehuḏah: one.

8. “And by the border of Yehuḏah, from the east side to the west, is the contribution which you offer up, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the portions, from the east side to the west, with the set-apart place in its midst.

9. “The contribution that you offer up to יהוה is twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width.

10. “And of these is the set-apart contribution for the priests: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits, and on the west ten thousand in width, and on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. And the set-apart place of יהוה shall be in its midst –

11. for the priests of the sons of Tsaḏoq, who are set-apart, who did guard My Charge, who did not go astray when the children of Yisra’ĕl went astray, as the Lĕwites went astray.

12. “So this contribution shall be to them, from the contribution of the land, a most set-apart place by the border of the Lĕwites.

13. “And alongside the border of the priests, the Lĕwites have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width, its entire length is twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand.

14. “And they do not sell any of it, nor exchange it, nor transfer this best part of the land, for it is set-apart to יהוה.

15. “And the five thousand cubits in width that is left, facing the twenty-five thousand, is for common use by the city, for dwellings and open land. And the city shall be in its midst.

16. “And these are its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits, and the south side four thousand five hundred, and the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred.

17. “And the open land of the city shall be: to the north two hundred and fifty cubits, and to the south two hundred and fifty, and to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty.

18. “And the rest of the length, alongside the contribution of the set-apart portion, is ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west. And it shall be alongside the contribution of the set-apart portion, and its increase shall be food for the workers of the city.

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.
