13 Thus hath the Lord GOD said: This is the border, by which ye shall divide the land in inheritance among to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions. 14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, concerning that which I lifted up my hand that I must give it unto your fathers: therefore, this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad; 16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. 17 And the border of the north shall be from the sea of Hazarenan to the border of Damascus to the north, and to the border of Hamath to the side of the north.
18 And to the east side through Hauran, and Damascus, and Gilead, and through the land of Israel to the Jordan, ye shall measure this from the border unto the east sea.
19 And to the south side southward from Tamar even to the waters of strife; from Kadesh and the river to the great sea. And this shall be the south side southward.
20 And to the west side the great sea shall be the border straight unto Hamath. This shall be the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel. 22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who have begotten sons among you; and they shall be unto you as native born among the sons of Israel; they shall have cast lots with you to inherit among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it shall come to pass, that in the tribe in which the stranger sojourns, there shall ye give him his inheritance, said the Lord GOD.
1 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the side of the north by the way of Hethlon, as one goes to Hamath, Hazarenan, to the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; Dan shall have a portion, his sides being to the east and to the west. 2 And next to the border of Dan, from the east side unto the side of the sea, Asher shall have a portion. 3 And next to the border of Asher, from the east side unto the side of the sea, a portion for Naphtali. 4 And next to the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the side of the sea, a portion for Manasseh. 5 And next to the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the side of the sea, a portion for Ephraim. 6 And next to the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the side of the sea, a portion for Reuben. 7 And next to the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the side of the sea, a portion for Judah.
8 And next to the border of Judah, from the east side unto the side of the sea, shall be the lot which ye shall set apart of twenty-five thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other portions; that is, from the east side unto the side of the sea: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 9 The lot that ye shall separate unto the LORD shall be of twenty-five thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. 10 And from there shall be the holy lot of the priests; toward the north twenty-five thousand reeds 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 The priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge, which did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 12 They shall receive by lot, separated in the dividing of the land, the most holy part, next to the border of the Levites. 13 And the portion of the Levites, shall be in front the border of the priests, of twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and of ten thousand in breadth; all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 14 They shall not sell of it, neither exchange nor transpose the firstfruits of the land; for it is consecrated unto the LORD.
15 And the five thousand reeds, that are left in the breadth over against the twenty-five thousand, shall be profane, for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof. 16 And these shall be the measures thereof: the north side four thousand five hundred reeds, 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 suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty reeds, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. 18 And the residue in length over against the lot of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: which shall be what is left of the lot of the holy portion; it shall be for food unto those that serve the city. 19 And those that serve the city shall be from all the tribes of Israel. 20 All the lot of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand square: ye shall separate by lot for the sanctuary and for the possession of the city.
21 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy lot, and of the possession of the city, over against the twenty-five thousand reeds of the holy lot unto the east border, and westward over against the twenty-five thousand unto the west border, over against the said portions shall be of the prince; and it shall be a holy lot; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof. 22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, in the midst shall be that which belongs to the prince, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be the lot of the prince.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the side of the sea, Benjamin shall have a portion. 24 And next to the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the side of the sea, Simeon shall have a portion. 25 And next to the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the side of the sea, Issachar a portion. 26 And next to the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the side of the sea, Zebulun a portion. 27 And next to the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the side of the sea, Gad a portion. 28 And next to the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be from Tamar unto the waters of strife, and from Kadesh, and the river unto the great sea. 29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, said the Lord GOD.
