Chapter 48 of Ezekiel—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ “These are the names of the tribes: Beginning at the northern border, from the sea by way[a] of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, as far as Hazar-e′non (which is on the northern border of Damascus over against Hamath), and[b] extending from the east side to the west,[c] Dan, one portion.
  2. Adjoining the territory of Dan, from the east side to the west, Asher, one portion.
  3. Adjoining the territory of Asher, from the east side to the west, Naph′tali, one portion.
  4. Adjoining the territory of Naph′tali, from the east side to the west, Manas′seh, one portion.
  5. Adjoining the territory of Manas′seh, from the east side to the west, E′phraim, one portion.
  6. Adjoining the territory of E′phraim, from the east side to the west, Reuben, one portion.
  7. Adjoining the territory of Reuben, from the east side to the west, Judah, one portion.
  8. ¶ “Adjoining the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the portion which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in breadth, and in length equal to one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west, with the sanctuary in the midst of it.
  9. The portion which you shall set apart for the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and twenty[d] thousand in breadth.
  10. These shall be the allotments of the holy portion: the priests shall have an allotment measuring twenty-five thousand cubits on the northern side, ten thousand cubits in breadth on the western side, ten thousand in breadth on the eastern side, and twenty-five thousand in length on the southern side, with the sanctuary of the LORD in the midst of it.
  11. This shall be for the consecrated priests, the sons[e] of Zadok, who kept my charge, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did.
  12. And it shall belong to them as a special portion from the holy portion of the land, a most holy place, adjoining the territory of the Levites.
  13. And alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an allotment twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in breadth. The whole length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits and the breadth twenty[f] thousand.
  14. They shall not sell or exchange any of it; they shall not alienate this choice portion of the land, for it is holy to the LORD.
  15. ¶ “The remainder, five thousand cubits in breadth and twenty-five thousand in length, shall be for ordinary use for the city, for dwellings and for open country. In the midst of it shall be the city;
  16. and these shall be its dimensions: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits, the south side four thousand five hundred, the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred.
  17. And the city shall have open land: on the north two hundred and fifty cubits, on the south two hundred and fifty, on the east two hundred and fifty, and on the west two hundred and fifty.
  18. The remainder of the length alongside the holy portion shall be ten thousand cubits to the east, and ten thousand to the west, and it shall be alongside the holy portion. Its produce shall be food for the workers of the city.
  19. And the workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.
  20. The whole portion which you shall set apart shall be twenty-five thousand cubits square, that is, the holy portion together with the property of the city.
  21. ¶ “What remains on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city shall belong to the prince. Extending from the twenty-five thousand cubits of the holy portion to the east border, and westward from the twenty-five thousand cubits to the west border, parallel to the tribal portions, it shall belong to the prince. The holy portion with the sanctuary of the temple in its midst,
  22. and the property of the Levites and the property of the city,[g] shall be in the midst of that which belongs to the prince. The portion of the prince shall lie between the territory of Judah and the territory of Benjamin.
  23. ¶ “As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west, Benjamin, one portion.
  24. Adjoining the territory of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, Simeon, one portion.
  25. Adjoining the territory of Simeon, from the east side to the west, Is′sachar, one portion.
  26. Adjoining the territory of Is′sachar, from the east side to the west, Zeb′ulun, one portion.
  27. Adjoining the territory of Zeb′ulun, from the east side to the west, Gad, one portion.
  28. And adjoining the territory of Gad to the south, the boundary shall run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-ka′desh, thence along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea.
  29. This is the land which you shall allot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their several portions, says the Lord GOD.
  30. ¶ “These shall be the exits of the city: On the north side, which is to be four thousand five hundred cubits by measure,
  31. three gates, the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah, and the gate of Levi, the gates of the city being named after the tribes of Israel.
  32. On the east side, which is to be four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates, the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, and the gate of Dan.
  33. On the south side, which is to be four thousand five hundred cubits by measure, three gates, the gate of Simeon, the gate of Is′sachar, and the gate of Zeb′ulun.
  34. On the west side, which is to be four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates,[h] the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, and the gate of Naph′tali.
  35. The circumference of the city shall be eighteen thousand cubits. And the name of the city henceforth shall be, The LORD is there.”

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
