Thus says the Lord Jehovah, The gate of the inner court that faces 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.

And the prince shall enter through the porch of the gate from the outside and stand by the doorpost of the gate, and the priests will prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate; then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

And the people of the land shall worship at the entrance of that gate before Jehovah on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

And the burnt offering that the prince shall present to Jehovah on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

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 for an ephah.

And on the day of the  ¹new moon he shall offer a bull of the herd without blemish, six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish.

And he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs as he can afford, and a hin of oil for an ephah.

And when the prince enters, he shall come in through the porch of the gate, and he shall go out the same way.

But when the people of the land come before Jehovah at the appointed feasts, whoever enters through the north gate to worship shall go out through the south gate, and whoever enters through the south gate shall go out through the north gate; he shall not return through the gate by which he came in, but shall go out straight ahead.

And the prince shall come in among them when they enter, and when they go out, they shall go out together.

And at the feasts and at the appointed feasts the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil for an ephah.

And when the prince prepares a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Jehovah, someone will open for him the gate that faces east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and someone shall shut the gate after he has gone out.

And you shall provide a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Jehovah daily,  ¹every morning you shall provide it.

And you shall provide with it a meal offering every morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. It is a meal offering to Jehovah continually, a perpetual statute.

Thus they shall provide the lamb and the meal offering and the oil every morning for a continual burnt offering.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah, If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

But if he gives some of his inheritance as a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance shall remain only for his sons.

Moreover the prince shall not take any of the people's inheritance, casting them out of their own possession. He shall give an inheritance to his sons from his own possession so that none of My people are scattered away from their possession.

Then He brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which face north. And there was a  ¹place there, at the rear toward the west.

And He said to 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, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court, thereby sanctifying the people.

Then He brought me out into the outer court and led me past the four corners of the court; and there in each corner of the court was a  ¹court.

In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty cubits wide. These four enclosed courts in the corners were of one measurement.

And there was a wall all around them, around all four, and boiling places were made at the base of the walls all around.

Then He said to me, These are the boiling houses, where those who minister in the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.

Then He brought me back to the entrance of the house, and there was  ¹water flowing out from under the threshold of the house to the  ²east (for the house faced east); and the water flowed down below the  ³south side of the house, on the south of the  ⁴altar.

Then He brought me out by the way of the north gate and led me around on the way outside to the outer gate, on the way to the gate that faces east; and there the water was running out on the south side.

When the  ¹man went out to the east with the line in His hand, He  ²measured a  ³thousand cubits; and He led me through the water, water that was to the ankles.

Then He measured a thousand cubits and led me through the water, water that was to the knees. Then He measured a thousand cubits and led me through the water, water that was to the loins.

Then He measured a thousand cubits, and it was a river that I could not pass through; for the water had risen, enough water to  ¹swim in, a river that could not be crossed.

And He said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then He led me and brought me back along the bank of the river.

And when I returned, there were very many trees on the bank of the river, on one side and on the other.

Then said He to me, This water flows out toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah and goes to the sea; when it flows into the  ¹sea, the water of the sea is  ²healed.

And every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes shall  ¹live, and there will be very many  ²fish when this water comes there. And the water of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live wherever the river comes.

And fishermen will stand beside  ¹the sea from  ²En-gedi even to  ³En-eglaim; it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish shall be according to their kinds, like the fish of the  ⁴Great Sea, very many.

But its  ¹swamps and its  ¹marshes will not be healed; they shall be left for salt.

And on the banks on both sides of the river will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail; but they will bring forth new fruit every month, because the water for them flows out of the sanctuary. And their fruit shall be for food, and their leaves for healing.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah, This is the boundary by which you shall divide up the  ¹land as an inheritance for the twelve tribes of Israel; Joseph shall have two portions.

And you shall divide it for an inheritance, each one equally with the other, for I swore to give it to your fathers, and this land will fall to you as an inheritance.

This shall be the border of the land: on the north side, from the  ¹Great Sea by the way of Hethlon, to the  ²entrance of Hamath, and on to Zedad;

Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the territory of Damascus and the territory of Hamath), to Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.

Thus the border shall extend from the sea to Hazar-enan on the border of the territory of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the territory of Hamath. This is the north side.

And on the east side, from between Hauran and Damascus, and from between Gilead and the land of Israel, that is, the Jordan, you shall measure from the north border to the  ¹eastern sea. This is the east side.

And the south side toward the south, the border shall go from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, and to the Great Sea. This is the south side toward the south.

And the west side shall be the Great Sea, from the south border to opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.

So you shall apportion this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

And you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the sojourners who sojourn among you, who bring forth sons among you. And they shall be to you just like the native among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

And in whatever tribe the sojourner sojourns, you shall give him his inheritance there, declares the Lord Jehovah.

Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, along the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, and Hazar-enan on the border of the territory of Damascus with Hamath to the north (with their sides extending from east to west), Dan, one portion.

And alongside the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one portion.

And alongside the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one portion.

And alongside the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one portion.

And alongside the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one portion.

And alongside the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one portion.

And alongside the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one portion.

And alongside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the  ¹heave offering of land which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand reeds in width, and in length just like one of the portions of the tribes from the east side to the west side; and the  ²sanctuary shall be in its midst.

The heave offering that you shall offer to Jehovah shall be twenty-five thousand reeds in length and ten thousand reeds in width.

And for these, that is, for the priests, shall be the holy heave offering — on the north twenty-five thousand reeds in length, on the west ten thousand reeds in width, on the east ten thousand reeds in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand reeds in length; and the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in its midst.

This is for the priests who are sanctified from among 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.

And it shall be theirs as a heave offering from the heave offering of the land, most holy, alongside the territory of the Levites.

And alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have a portion twenty-five thousand reeds in length and ten thousand reeds in width. The whole length shall be twenty-five thousand reeds, and its width ten thousand reeds.

And they shall not sell or exchange or transfer any of it; it is the firstfruits of the land, for it is holy to Jehovah.

And the five thousand reeds remaining of the width, alongside the twenty-five thousand reeds, shall be for common use: for the city, for dwellings, and for suburbs; and the city shall be in its midst.

And these shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred reeds, the south side four thousand five hundred reeds, on the east side four thousand five hundred reeds, and the west side four thousand five hundred reeds.

And the city shall have suburbs: two hundred fifty reeds to the north, two hundred fifty reeds to the south, two hundred fifty reeds to the east, and two hundred fifty reeds to the west.

And the remaining length, alongside the holy heave offering, shall be ten thousand reeds to the east and ten thousand reeds to the west, and it shall be alongside the holy heave offering. And its produce shall be food for those who labor in the city.

And those who labor in the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall work it.

The entire heave offering of land shall be twenty-five thousand reeds by twenty-five thousand reeds. You shall offer the holy heave offering, a square, including the possession of the city.

And what is remaining on both sides of the holy heave offering and of the city's possession shall be for the prince; adjacent to the twenty-five thousand reeds of the heave offering unto the eastern border, and to the west adjacent to the twenty-five thousand reeds of the heave offering to the western border, alongside the portions of the tribes, it shall be for the prince. And the holy heave offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.

And it shall be distinct from the possession of the Levites and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of what belongs to the prince. The remaining area lying between the territory of Judah and the territory of Benjamin shall be for the prince.

And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one portion.

And alongside the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one portion.

And alongside the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one portion.

And alongside the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one portion.

And alongside the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one portion.

And alongside the border of Gad, at the south side to the south, the border shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-kadesh to the brook of Egypt to the Great Sea.

This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for an inheritance, and these are their portions, declares the Lord Jehovah.

And these are the exits of the city: On the north side, which measures four thousand five hundred reeds,

(Now the gates of the  ¹city shall be according to the names of the tribes of Israel)  ²three gates to the north: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one;

And on the east side, which is four thousand five hundred reeds, another three gates: the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one;

And on the south side, which measures four thousand five hundred reeds, another three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one;

On the west side, which is four thousand five hundred reeds, their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.

It shall be eighteen thousand reeds all around, and the name of the city from that day shall be,  ¹Jehovah Is There.
