1. Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast along the way of Hethlon, as one goes to Hamath, then Hazar-enan, and the boundary of Damascus northward, and along the boundary of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.

9. The offering that you shall offer to the LORD shall be of twenty five thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.

And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy offering; toward the north twenty five thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
  
11. It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; who have kept my charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
  
12. And this offering of the land that is offered shall be for them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
  
13. And alongside the border of the priests the Levites shall have twenty five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
  
14. And they shall not sell any of it, neither exchange, nor misuse the first fruits of the land: for it is holy to the LORD.
  
15. And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth beside the twenty five thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for open country: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
  
16. And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand five hundred, and the south side four thousand five hundred, and on the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred.
  
17. And the open country 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.
  
18. And the remainder in length alongside the offering of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be alongside the offering of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food for those who work for the city.
  
19. And those who work for the city shall work for it out of all the tribes of Israel.
  
20. All the offering shall be twenty five thousand by twenty five thousand: you shall offer the holy offering foursquare, with the possession of the city.
  
21. And the remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering, and of the possession of the city, up to the twenty five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward up to the twenty five thousand toward the west border, alongside the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy offering; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst of it.
  
22. Moreover 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.

29. This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for an inheritance, and these are their portions, says the Lord GOD.
  
30. And these are the exits of the city on the north side, four thousand five hundred measures.
  
31. And the gates of the city shall be according to the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
  
32. And at the east side four thousand five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
  
33. And at the south side four thousand five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
  
34. At the west side four thousand five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
  
35. It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
