41.1
And he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts,
six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side,
which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
41.2
And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the
entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side:
and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty
cubits.
41.3
Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits;
and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.
41.4
And he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits, and the breadth,
twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy
place.
41.5
Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth
of every side-chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
41.6
And the side-chambers were in three stories, one over another, and thirty
in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the
side-chambers round about, that they might have hold `therein', and not have
hold in the wall of the house.
41.7
And the side-chambers were broader as they encompassed `the house' higher
and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round
about the house: therefore the breadth of the house `continued' upward; and
so one went up `from' the lowest `chamber' to the highest by the middle `chamber'.
41.8
I saw also that the house had a raised basement round about: the foundations
of the side-chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
41.9
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chambers, on the outside,
was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side-chambers
that belonged to the house.
41.10
And between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about
the house on every side.
41.11
And the doors of the side-chambers were toward `the place' that was
left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the
breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
41.12
And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward
the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits
thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
41.13
So he measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place,
and the building, with the walls thereof, a hundred cubits long;
41.14
also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place
toward the east, a hundred cubits.
41.15
And he measured the length of the building before the separate place
which was at the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and
on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches
of the court;
41.16
the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about
on their three stories, over against the threshold, ceiled with wood round
about, and `from' the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),
41.17
to `the space' above the door, even unto the inner house, and without,
and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
41.18
And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees; and a palm-tree was between
cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;
41.19
so that there was the face of a man toward the palm-tree on the one
side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm-tree on the other side.
`thus was it' made through all the house round about:
41.20
from the ground unto above the door were cherubim and palm-trees made:
thus was the wall of the temple.
41.21
As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and as for the face
of the sanctuary, the appearance `thereof' was as the appearance `of the temple'.
41.22
The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length thereof two
cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof,
were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before Jehovah.
41.23
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
41.24
And the doors had two leaves `apiece', two turning leaves: two `leaves'
for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
41.25
And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and
palm-trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there was a threshold of
wood upon the face of the porch without.
41.26
And there were closed windows and palm-trees on the one side and on
the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side-chambers of
the house, and the thresholds.
42.1
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way
toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against
the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north.
42.2
Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth
was fifty cubits.
42.3
Over against the twenty `cubits' which belonged to the inner court,
and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery
against gallery in the third story.
42.4
And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits' breadth inward, a
way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
42.5
Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from
these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building.
42.6
For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars
of the courts: therefore `the uppermost' was straitened more than the lowest
and the middlemost from the ground.
42.7
And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the
outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
42.8
For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty
cubits: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.
42.9
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one
goeth into them from the outer court.
42.10
In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the
separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
42.11
And the way before them was like the appearance of `the way of' the
chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their
breadth: and all their egresses were both according to their fashions, and
according to their doors.
42.12
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south
was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward
the east, as one entereth into them.
42.13
Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which
are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests
that are near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they
lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and
the trespass-offering; for the place is holy.
42.14
When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place
into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they
minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall
approach to that which pertaineth to the people.
42.15
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought
me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured
it round about.
42.16
He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds,
with the measuring reed round about.
42.17
He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring
reed round about.
42.18
He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring
reed.
42.19
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with
the measuring reed.
42.20
He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length
five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that
which was holy and that which was common.
43.1
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that
looketh toward the east.
43.2
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the
east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined
with his glory.
43.3
And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even
according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the
visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon
my face.
43.4
And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate
whose prospect is toward the east.
43.5
And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and,
behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
43.6
And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by
me.
43.7
And he said unto me, Son of man, `this is' the place of my throne, and
the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the
children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile
my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the
dead bodies of their kings `in' their high places;
43.8
in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post
beside my door-post, and there was `but' the wall between me and them; and
they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed:
wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
43.9
Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings,
far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
43.10
Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they
may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
43.11
And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto
them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof,
and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances
thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it
in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances
thereof, and do them.
43.12
This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the whole
limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the
house.
43.13
And these are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit
and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit,
and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall
be the base of the altar.
43.14
And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower ledge shall be two
cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater
ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
43.15
And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth
and upward there shall be four horns.
43.16
And the altar hearth shall be twelve `cubits' long by twelve broad,
square in the four sides thereof.
43.17
And the ledge shall be fourteen `cubits' long by fourteen broad in
the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and
the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and the steps thereof shall
look toward the east.
43.18
And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These
are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer
burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
43.19
Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of
Zadok, who are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah,
a young bullock for a sin-offering.
43.20
And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns
of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about:
thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it.
43.21
Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall
be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
43.22
And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for
a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with
the bullock.
43.23
When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young
bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
43.24
And thou shalt bring them near before Jehovah, and the priests shall
cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto
Jehovah.
43.25
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering:
they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without
blemish.
43.26
Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so
shall they consecrate it.
43.27
And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the
eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon
the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord
Jehovah.
44.1
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate
of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
44.2
And Jehovah said unto me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened,
neither shall any man enter in by it; for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath
entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.
44.3
As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before
Jehovah; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go
out by the way of the same.
44.4
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and
I looked, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and
I fell upon my face.
44.5
And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine
eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the
ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well
the entrance of the house, with every egress of the sanctuary.
44.6
And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus
saith the Lord Jehovah: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your
abominations,
44.7
in that ye have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised
in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer
my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, `to add'
unto all your abominations.
44.8
And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set keepers
of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
44.9
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and
uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that
are among the children of Israel.
44.10
But the Levites that went far from me, when Israel went astray, that
went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
44.11
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the
gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt-offering
and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister
unto them.
44.12
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and became a
stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted
up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall bear their
iniquity.
44.13
And they shall not come near unto me, to execute the office of priest
unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are
most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they
have committed.
44.14
Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the
service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
44.15
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge
of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall
come near to me to minister unto me; and they shall stand before me to offer
unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah:
44.16
they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my
table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
44.17
And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner
court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon
them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
44.18
They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen
breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with `anything that
causeth' sweat.
44.19
And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court
to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they minister, and
lay them in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, that
they sanctify not the people with their garments.
44.20
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow
long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
44.21
Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the
inner court.
44.22
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put
away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a
widow that is the widow of a priest.
44.23
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and
the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
44.24
And in a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to mine ordinances
shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my
appointed feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
44.25
And they shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for
father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister
that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
44.26
And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
44.27
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court,
to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord
Jehovah.
44.28
And they shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and ye
shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
44.29
They shall eat the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering;
and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
44.30
And the first of all the first-fruits of every thing, and every oblation
of everything, of all your oblations, shall be for the priest: ye shall also
give unto the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest
on thy house.
44.31
The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or is torn,
whether it be bird or beast.
45.1
Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance,
ye shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land; the length
shall be the length of five and twenty thousand `reeds', and the breadth shall
be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border thereof round about.
45.2
Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred `in length' by
five hundred `in breadth', square round about; and fifty cubits for the suburbs
thereof round about.
45.3
And of this measure shalt thou measure a length of five and twenty thousand,
and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is
most holy.
45.4
It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers
of the sanctuary, that come near to minister unto Jehovah; and it shall be
a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
45.5
And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth,
shall be unto the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto
themselves, `for' twenty chambers.
45.6
And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad,
and five and twenty thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy
portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
45.7
And `whatsoever is' for the prince `shall be' on the one side and on
the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in
front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on
the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable
unto one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
45.8
In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes
shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house
of Israel according to their tribes.
45.9
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel:
remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away
your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
45.10
Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
45.11
The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain
the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure
thereof shall be after the homer.
45.12
And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty
shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
45.13
This is the oblation that ye shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah
from a homer of wheat; and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a
homer of barley;
45.14
and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a
bath out of the cor, `which is' ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are
a homer;)
45.15
and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered
pastures of Israel; -for a meal-offering, and for a burnt-offering, and for
peace-offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord Jehovah.
45.16
All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince
in Israel.
45.17
And it shall be the prince's part to give the burnt-offerings, and
the meal-offerings, and the drink-offerings, in the feasts, and on the new
moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel:
he shall prepare the sin-offering, and the meal-offering, and the burnt-offering,
and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
45.18
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the first `month', in the first `day'
of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish; and thou shalt
cleanse the sanctuary.
45.19
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put
it upon the door-posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge
of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
45.20
And so thou shalt do on the seventh `day' of the month for every one
that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye make atonement for the
house.
45.21
In the first `month', in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall
have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
45.22
And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all
the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering.
45.23
And the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt-offering to
Jehovah, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days;
and a he-goat daily for a sin-offering.
45.24
And he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an
ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
45.25
In the seventh `month', in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast,
shall he do the like the seven days; according to the sin-offering, according
to the burnt-offering, and according to the meal-offering, and according to
the oil.
46.1
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court
that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the
sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be
opened.
46.2
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate without,
and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his
burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold
of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until
the evening.
46.3
And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before
Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons.
46.4
And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer unto Jehovah shall
be on the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;
46.5
and the meal-offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal-offering
for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
46.6
And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish,
and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:
46.7
and he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for the bullock, and
an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin
of oil to an ephah.
46.8
And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch
of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
46.9
But when the people of the land shall come before Jehovah in the appointed
feasts, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go
forth by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the
south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return
by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before
him.
46.10
And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them;
and when they go forth, they shall go forth `together'.
46.11
And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meal-offering shall be
an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is
able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
46.12
And when the prince shall prepare a freewill-offering, a burnt-offering
or peace-offerings as a freewill-offering unto Jehovah, one shall open for
him the gate that looketh toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt-offering
and his peace-offerings, as he doth on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth;
and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
46.13
And thou shalt prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering
unto Jehovah daily: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it.
46.14
And thou shalt prepare a meal-offering with it morning by morning,
the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten
the fine flour; a meal-offering unto Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance.
46.15
Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal-offering, and the oil,
morning by morning, for a continual burnt-offering.
46.16
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: If the prince give a gift unto any of
his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their
possession by inheritance.
46.17
But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it
shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but
as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.
46.18
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to
thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons
out of his own possession, that my people be not scattered every man from
his possession.
46.19
Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the
gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north:
and, behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.
46.20
And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil
the trespass-offering and the sin-offering, `and' where they shall bake the
meal-offering; that they bring them not forth into the outer court, to sanctify
the people.
46.21
Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass
by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court
there was a court.
46.22
In the four corners of the court there were courts inclosed, forty
`cubits' long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure.
46.23
And there was a wall round about in them, round about the four, and
boiling-places were made under the walls round about.
46.24
Then said he unto me, These are the boiling-houses, where the ministers
of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
47.1
And he brought me back unto the door of the house; and,
behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward;
(for the forefront of the house was toward the east;) and the waters came
down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.
47.2
Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me
round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of `the gate' that
looketh toward the east; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
47.3
When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured
a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that
were to the ankles.
47.4
Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters,
waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me
to pass through `the waters', waters that were to the loins.
47.5
Afterward he measured a thousand; `and it was' a river that I could
not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that
could not be passed through.
47.6
And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen `this'? Then he brought
me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
47.7
Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very
many trees on the one side and on the other.
47.8
Then said he unto me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region,
and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into
the sea `shall the waters go' which were made to issue forth; and the waters
shall be healed.
47.9
And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth,
in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very
great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and `the waters
of the sea' shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river
cometh.
47.10
And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi
even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish
shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
47.11
But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be
healed; they shall be given up to salt.
47.12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side,
shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not whither, neither shall
the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because
the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall
be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.
47.13
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall
divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel:
Joseph `shall have two' portions.
47.14
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I sware to give
it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
47.15
And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the
great sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entrance of Zedad;
47.16
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus
and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
47.17
And the border from the sea, shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus;
and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
47.18
And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the
land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the `north' border unto the east
sea shall ye measure. This is the east side.
47.19
And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters
of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook `of Egypt', unto the great sea. This is the
south side southward.
47.20
And the west side shall be the great sea, from the `south' border as
far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
47.21
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
47.22
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 shall beget children
among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children
of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
47.23
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth,
there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
48.1
Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north
end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the
border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides
east `and' west,) Dan, one `portion'.
48.2
And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, Asher,
one `portion'.
48.3
And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side,
Naphtali, one `portion'.
48.4
And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side,
Manasseh, one `portion'.
48.5
And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side,
Ephraim, one `portion'.
48.6
And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west
side, Reuben, one `portion'.
48.7
And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side,
Judah, one `portion'.
48.8
And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall
be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand `reeds' in
breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the
west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
48.9
The oblation that ye shall offer unto Jehovah shall be five and twenty
thousand `reeds' in length, and ten thousand in breadth.
48.10
And for these, even for the priests, shall be the 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 Jehovah shall be
in the midst thereof.
48.11
`It shall be' for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok,
that have kept my charge, that went not astray when the children of Israel
went astray, as the Levites went astray.
48.12
And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land,
a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.
48.13
And answerable unto 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.
48.14
And they shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first-fruits
of the land be alienated; for it is holy unto Jehovah.
48.15
And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the
five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling
and for suburbs; and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
48.16
And 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.
48.17
And the city shall have suburbs: 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.
48.18
And the residue in the length, answerable unto the holy oblation, shall
be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable
unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them
that labor in the city.
48.19
And they that labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall
till it.
48.20
All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty
thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation four-square, with the possession
of the city.
48.21
And 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; in front of
the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward
in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable
unto the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the
sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
48.22
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, it shall be for the prince.
48.23
And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side unto the west
side, Benjamin, one `portion'.
48.24
And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side,
Simeon, one `portion'.
48.25
And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side,
Issachar, one `portion'.
48.26
And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side,
Zebulun, one `portion'.
48.27
And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side,
Gad, one `portion'.
48.28
And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall
be even from Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook `of Egypt',
unto the great sea.
48.29
This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel
for inheritance, and these are their several portions, saith the Lord Jehovah.
48.30
And these are the egresses of the city: On the north side four thousand
and five hundred `reeds' by measure;
48.31
and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of
Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah,
one; the gate of Levi, one.
48.32
And at the east side four thousand and five hundred `reeds', and three
gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of
Dan, one.
48.33
And at the south side four thousand and five hundred `reeds' by measure,
and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate
of Zebulun, one.
48.34
At the west side four thousand and five hundred `reeds', with their
three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali,
one.
48.35
It shall be eighteen thousand `reeds' round about: and the name of
the city from that day shall be, Jehovah is there.
