1 Here are the names of the tribes. On the northern edge, on the road from Hetlon, leading to Hamath, Hazar-Enon, from the northern border of Damascus on the way to Hamath: all this from the east to the sea is one destiny of Danu.
2 Beneath the border of Dan, from the east to the west, this is one destiny of Asher.
3 Near the border of Asher, from the east to the west, this is one destiny of Naphtali.
4 Near the border of Naphtali, from the eastern edge to the west, this is one destiny of Manasseh.
5 Near the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, this is one destiny of Ephraim.
6th Beneath the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, this is one lot of Reuben.
7th Beneath the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west, this is one destiny of Judah.
8 And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, is a sacred site, twenty-five thousand in width, and as long as the others, from the east to the west; Among them is the sanctuary.
9 The site that you dedicate to the Lord will be twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in width.
10 And this holy site should belong to the priests, to the north twenty-five thousand and to the sea ten thousand wide, and ten thousand to the east, and twenty-five thousand to the south, to the south, and the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the midst.
eleven This is dedicated to the priests of the sons of Zadok who stood in my charge, who, during the apostasy of the children of Israel, did not depart from Me, as the Levites [Levites] retreated.
12 They will own this part of the earth from the sacred site, the shrine from the shrines, at the limit of the Levites.
13 And the Levites will also receive twenty-five thousand in length and ten thousand in breadth at the priestly limit; The whole length is twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand [canes].
14 And from this part they can neither sell nor trade; And the first-fruits of the earth can not pass over to others, because it is holy to the Lord.
15 And the remaining five thousand in breadth with twenty-five thousand [in] [length] are appointed for the city in general use, for settling and for suburbs; The city will be in the middle.
16 And its dimensions are: the north side is four thousand five hundred and the south side is four thousand five hundred, the eastern side is four thousand five hundred and the west side is four thousand five hundred [canes].
17th And the suburbs of the city to the north are two hundred and fifty, and to the east two hundred and fifty, to the south two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty [walking sticks].
18 And what remains of length against the sacred site, ten thousand to the east and ten thousand to the west, against the sacred site, the works from this land should be for the food of the workers in the city.
19 Work in the city can employees from all the tribes of Israel.
20 The entire divided section of twenty-five thousand lengths and twenty-five thousand breadths, quadrangular, scroll into the sacred lot, with the inclusion of the city's possessions;
21 And the rest to the prince. Both from the sacred site, and from the side of the city, against twenty-five thousand [sticks] to the eastern boundary of the site, and to the west against twenty-five thousand at the western border, proportionate to this lot, the inheritance to the prince, so that the sacred site and sanctuary will be In the middle of it.
22 And the fact that from the possession of the Levites [and] from the possessions of the city remains in the interval, belongs also to the prince; The gap between the border of Judah and between the border of Benjamin will belong to the prince.
23 The rest of the tribes, from the eastern edge to the west, is one portion of Benjamin.
24 Near the border of Benjamin, from the eastern edge to the western one, there is one inheritance to Simeon.
25 Near the border of Simeon, from the eastern edge to the western one, is one destiny of Issachar.
26th Near the border of Issachar, from the eastern edge to the western edge, is one destiny of Zebulun.
27th Near the border of Zabulon, from the eastern edge to the western one, is one destiny of Gadu.
28 And beside the border of Gad on the south side is the southern limit from Tamara to the waters of wrangling at Cadiz, along the stream to the great sea.
29 This is the land that you will divide by lot for the tribes of Israel, and these are their plots, says the Lord God.
thirty And here are the exits of the city: from the north side of the measure four thousand five hundred;

31 And the gates of the city are called the names of the tribes of Israel; To the north are three gates: the gates of Reuben alone, the gates of Judah alone, the gates of Levi alone.
32 And on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and three gates: the gates of Joseph alone, the gate of Benjamin alone, the gate of Dan one;
33 And on the south side measures four thousand five hundred, and three gates: the Simeon gates alone, the gates of Issachar alone, the gates of the Zebulunites alone.
34 There are four thousand five hundred on the sea side, there are three gates: the gates of Gad are alone, the gates of Asher are alone, the gates of Naphtali are alone.
35 There are eighteen thousand around. And the name of the city from that day will be: "The Lord is there."
