The Tribal Allotments
1“Now these are the names of the tribes:
From the northern end, along the road of Hethlon, to Lebo-hamath as far as Hazar-enon, at the northern border of Damascus, alongside Hamath and extending from the eastern side to the sea, will be Dan — one portion.
2Next to the territory of Dan, from the east side to the west, will be Asher — one portion.
3Next to the territory of Asher, from the east side to the west, will be Naphtali — one portion.
4Next to the territory of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, will be Manasseh — one portion.
5Next to the territory of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, will be Ephraim — one portion.
6Next to the territory of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, will be Reuben — one portion.
7Next to the territory of Reuben, from the east side to the west, will be Judah — one portion.
8“Next to the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, will be the portion you donate to the Lord, 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits wide, and as long as one of the tribal portions from the east side to the west. # Ezk 45:1-5 The sanctuary will be in the middle of it.
9“The special portion you donate to the Lord will be 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits long and 3 1/3 miles # Lit 10,000 cubits wide. 10This holy donation will be set apart for the priests alone. It will be 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits long on the northern side, 3 1/3 miles # Lit 10,000 cubits wide on the western side, 3 1/3 miles # Lit 10,000 cubits wide on the eastern side, and 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits long on the southern side. The Lord’s sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 11It is for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept My charge # Ezk 44:10,15 and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray. 12It will be a special donation for them out of the holy donation of the land, a most holy place adjacent to the territory of the Levites.
13“Next to the territory of the priests, the Levites will have an area 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits long and 3 1/3 miles # Lit 10,000 cubits wide. The total length will be 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits and the width 3 1/3 miles. # Lit 10,000 cubits # Ezk 45:1 14They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this choice part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord. # Lv 25:34; 27:28
15“The remaining area, 1 2/3 of a mile # Lit 5,000 cubits wide and 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, # Ezk 45:6 for both residential and open space. The city will be in the middle of it. 16These are the city’s measurements:
1 1/2 miles # Lit 4,500 cubits on the north side;
1 1/2 miles # Lit 4,500 cubits on the south side;
1 1/2 miles # Lit 4,500 cubits on the east side;
and 1 1/2 miles # Lit 4,500 cubits on the west side.
17The city’s open space will extend:
425 feet # Lit 250 cubits to the north,
425 feet # Lit 250 cubits to the south,
425 feet # Lit 250 cubits to the east,
and 425 feet # Lit 250 cubits to the west.
18“The remainder of the length alongside the holy donation will be 3 1/3 miles # Lit 10,000 cubits to the east and 3 1/3 miles # Lit 10,000 cubits to the west. It will run alongside the holy donation. Its produce will be food for the workers of the city. 19The city’s workers from all the tribes of Israel will cultivate it. # Ezk 45:6 20The entire donation will be 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits by 8 1/3 miles; # Lit 25,000 cubits you are to set apart the holy donation along with the city property as a square area.
21“The remaining area on both sides of the holy donation and the city property will belong to the prince. # Ezk 34:24; 45:7 He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, next to the 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits of the donation as far as the eastern border and # Lit border, and to the west, next to the 8 1/3 miles # Lit 25,000 cubits of the donation as far as the western border. The holy donation and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it. 22Except for the Levitical property and the city property in the middle of the area belonging to the prince, the area between the territory of Judah and that of Benjamin will belong to the prince. # Jos 18:21-28
23“As for the rest of the tribes:
From the east side to the west, will be Benjamin — one portion.
24Next to the territory of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, will be Simeon — one portion.
25Next to the territory of Simeon, from the east side to the west, will be Issachar — one portion.
26Next to the territory of Issachar, from the east side to the west, will be Zebulun — one portion.
27Next to the territory of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, will be Gad — one portion.
28Next to the territory of Gad toward the south side, the border will run from Tamar to the waters # 2Ch 20:2 of Meribath-kadesh, to the Brook of Egypt, and out to the Mediterranean Sea. 29This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to Israel’s tribes, # Ezk 47:13-20 and these will be their portions.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
The New City
30“These are the exits of the city:
On the north side, which measures 1 1/2 miles, # Lit 4,500 cubits 31there will be three gates facing north, the gates of the city being named for the tribes of Israel: one, the gate of Reuben; one, the gate of Judah; and one, the gate of Levi.
32On the east side, which is 1 1/2 miles, # Lit 4,500 cubits there will be three gates: one, the gate of Joseph; one, the gate of Benjamin; and one, the gate of Dan.
33On the south side, which measures 1 1/2 miles, # Lit 4,500 cubits there will be three gates: one, the gate of Simeon; one, the gate of Issachar; and one, the gate of Zebulun.
34On the west side, which is 1 1/2 miles, # Lit 4,500 cubits there will be three gates: one, the gate of Gad; one, the gate of Asher; and one, the gate of Naphtali.
35The perimeter of the city will be six miles, # Lit 18,000 cubits and the name of the city from that day on will be: Yahweh Is There.” # Is 12:6; 14:32; 24:23; Jr 3:17; 8:19; 14:9; Ezk 35:10; Jl 3:21; Zch 2:10; Rv 21:3; 22:3

Ezekiel 48
48
1Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Ha´zar–e´nan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan. 2And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher. 3And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naph´tali. 4And by the border of Naph´tali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manas´seh. 5And by the border of Manas´seh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for E´phra-im. 6And by the border of E´phra-im, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben. 7And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
8And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 9The oblation that ye shall offer unto the Lord shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. 10And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof. 11It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 12And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. 13And over against the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 14And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the Lord.
15And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof. 16And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred. 17And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. 18And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city. 19And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. 20All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
21And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof. 22Moreover, from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
23As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion. 24And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion. 25And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Is´sachar a portion. 26And by the border of Is´sachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zeb´ulun a portion. 27And by the border of Zeb´ulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion. 28And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea. 29This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord God.

Rev 21.12,13. And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures. 31And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi. 32And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan. 33And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Is´sachar, one gate of Zeb´ulun. 34At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naph´tali. 35It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.
