48 Here is a list of the tribes of Yisrael and the territory that each tribe is to receive. The northern boundary of Yisrael will start at the Mediterranean Sea and go east to Hetlon city, then to Levo-Hamat, and farther on to Hatsar-Enan, which is south of Damascus, and it will continue to Hamat. Each tribe will receive land that will extend from the eastern boundary of Yisrael west to the Mediterranean Sea.
The tribe of Dan will receive land alongside Yisrael’s northern border. 2 South of their area will be the territory for the tribe of Asher. 3 South of Asher’s land will be territory for the tribe of Naftali. 4 South of Naftali’s land will be territory for the tribe of Menashsheh. 5 South of Menashsheh’s land will be territory for the tribe of Efraim. 6 South of Efraim’s land will be territory for the tribe of Reuven. 7 South of Reuven’s land will be territory for the tribe of Yehudah (Judah).
48:8 The chosen place
8 South of Yehudah’s land will be an area that the entire nation will give to me—you all will set it apart for special use. The temple will be in the centre of this area which will be thirteen kilometres long (same as the other land allocations).
9 This special area will be thirteen kilometres long and five kilometres wide. That’s what you’ll all give to Yahweh. 10 Within that special area, this is what will be allocated to the priests: you will assign them an area of land measuring thirteen kilometres on the northern and southern side, and five kilometres on the western and eastern sides. Yahweh’s temple will be in the middle of that special area. 11 The temple area will be for the priests, Tsadok’s descendants, who are dedicated to serving me. (They’re the ones who served me faithfully and didn’t turn away from me like the Levites and the others did.) 12 The priests’ allocation will be a portion of that very sacred land, extending to the Levites’ border. 13 The land assigned to the Levites will be the same size as the land that the priests will receive. (So together, these two portions of land will be thirteen kilometres long and about ten kilometres wide.) 14 They mustn’t sell or barter it—none of this firstfruits of the land of Yisrael must ever be used for any different purpose because it’s all sacred to Yahweh.
15 Another strip of land thirteen kilometres long and almost three kilometres wide will be allotted for other people living in the special area to use. They may build homes and have pasturelands there, and there’ll be a city in the middle of that area. 16 The city will be square, over two kilometres long on each side 17 with an open area around it, within the special area, that will be about 130m wide in each direction. 18 Outside the city there will be two strips that will extend five kilometres on each of the east and west sides, and the produce from those strips will be food for those working in the city. 19 Those who come from the various tribes to work in the city may also work in this farmland. 20 That entire special area, including the land given for Yahweh’s use and the city, will be a square that is thirteen kilometres long on each side.
21 The tracts of land to the east and to the west of Yahweh’s area and the city will belong to the leader. One area will extend thirteen kilometres east to Yisrael’s eastern boundary, and the other will extend thirteen kilometres west to the Mediterranean Sea. Yahweh’s area, which contains the temple, will be in the middle. 22 The area that belongs to the leader (that surrounds the property of the Levites and the city in the middle of it) will be between the tribe of Yehudah to the north and the tribe of Benyamin to the south.
23 South of Yahweh’s area, each of the other tribes will receive one section of land that extends from the eastern boundary of Yisrael west all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.
Just south of Yahweh’s area will be territory for the tribe of Benyamin. 24 South of Benyamin’s land will be the land for the tribe of Shimeon. 25 South of Shimeon’s land will be the land for the tribe of Yissaskar. 26 South of Yissaskar’s land will be the land for the tribe of Zevulun. 27 South of Zevulun’s land will be the land for the tribe of Gad. 28 Gad’s southern boundary will extend from Tamar south to the waters of Merivah-Kadesh, and farther west to the brook of Egypt, and then on to the Mediterranean Sea.
29 That describes the territory for which you allocate to Yisrael’s tribes to become their permanent inheritance. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration.
48:30 The city gateways
30 These will be the exits from the city: On the northern side (which will be just over two kilometres long),[ref] 31 there’ll be three gates named after the tribes of Reuven, Yehudah, and Levi. 32 On the eastern side (the same length) there’ll be three gates named after the tribes of Yosef, Benyamin, and Dan. 33 On the southern side (the same length) there’ll be three gates named after the tribes of Shimeon, Yissaskar, and Zevulun. 34 On the western side (the same length) there’ll be three gates named after the tribes of Gad, Asher, and Naftali. 35 The distance around the city will be nine kilometres.
From that time onwards, the city’s name will be ‘Yahweh is there’ (Yahweh-Shammah).
