from Crossway1“These are the names of the tribes: Beginning at the northern extreme, beside the way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, as far as Hazar-enan (which is on the northern border of Damascus over against Hamath), and extending[1] from the east side to the west,[2] Dan, one portion. (Nu 2:25; 1Ki 8:65; Eze 47:15; Eze 47:16; Eze 47:17; Eze 47:18; Eze 47:20)2Adjoining the territory of Dan, from the east side to the west, Asher, one portion. (Eze 48:1)3Adjoining the territory of Asher, from the east side to the west, Naphtali, one portion. (Eze 48:1)4Adjoining the territory of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, Manasseh, one portion.5Adjoining the territory of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, Ephraim, one portion.6Adjoining the territory of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, Reuben, one portion.7Adjoining 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, 25,000 cubits[3] 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. (Eze 45:1; Eze 48:21)9The portion that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be 25,000 cubits in length, and 20,000[4] in breadth.10These shall be the allotments of the holy portion: the priests shall have an allotment measuring 25,000 cubits on the northern side, 10,000 cubits in breadth on the western side, 10,000 in breadth on the eastern side, and 25,000 in length on the southern side, with the sanctuary of the Lord in the midst of it. (Eze 45:4)11This shall be for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did. (Eze 40:46; Eze 44:10; Eze 44:15)12And 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.13And alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an allotment 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in breadth. The whole length shall be 25,000 cubits and the breadth 20,000.[5] (Eze 45:5)14They 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. (Le 27:10; Le 27:28; Le 27:33; Eze 44:30)15“The remainder, 5,000 cubits in breadth and 25,000 in length, shall be for common use for the city, for dwellings and for open country. In the midst of it shall be the city, (Eze 27:28; Eze 42:20; Eze 45:2; Eze 45:6)16and these shall be its measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits, the south side 4,500, the east side 4,500, and the west side 4,500. (Eze 48:20; Re 21:16)17And the city shall have open land: on the north 250 cubits, on the south 250, on the east 250, and on the west 250.18The remainder of the length alongside the holy portion shall be 10,000 cubits to the east, and 10,000 to the west, and it shall be alongside the holy portion. Its produce shall be food for the workers of the city. (Eze 45:6)19And the workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.20The whole portion that you shall set apart shall be 25,000 cubits square, that is, the holy portion together with the property of the city. (Eze 40:47)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 25,000 cubits of the holy portion to the east border, and westward from the 25,000 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 shall be in its midst. (Eze 45:7; Eze 48:8; Eze 48:10)22It shall be separate from the property of the Levites and the property of the city, which are 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.24Adjoining the territory of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, Simeon, one portion.25Adjoining the territory of Simeon, from the east side to the west, Issachar, one portion.26Adjoining the territory of Issachar, from the east side to the west, Zebulun, one portion.27Adjoining the territory of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, Gad, one portion.28And adjoining the territory of Gad to the south, the boundary shall run from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along the Brook of Egypt[6] to the Great Sea.[7] (Jos 15:12; Eze 47:10; Eze 47:19)29This is the land that you shall allot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, declares the Lord God. (Eze 47:22)
The Gates of the City
30“These shall be the exits of the city: On the north side, which is to be 4,500 cubits by measure, (Nu 34:4; Nu 34:8; Nu 34:12; Jos 15:4; Jos 15:7; Jos 15:11; Eze 48:16)31three 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. (De 33:6; Re 21:12)32On the east side, which is to be 4,500 cubits, three gates, the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, and the gate of Dan.33On the south side, which is to be 4,500 cubits by measure, three gates, the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar, and the gate of Zebulun.34On the west side, which is to be 4,500 cubits, three gates,[8] the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, and the gate of Naphtali.35The circumference of the city shall be 18,000 cubits. And the name of the city from that time on shall be, The Lord Is There.” (Isa 60:14; Jer 3:17; Jer 23:6; Jer 33:16; Eze 35:10; Joe 3:21; Zec 2:10; Re 21:3)
1‘These are the tribes, listed by name: ‘at the northern frontier, Dan will have one portion; it will follow the Hethlon road to Lebo Hamath; Hazar Enan and the northern border of Damascus next to Hamath will be part of its border from the east side to the west side.2Asher will have one portion; it will border the territory of Dan from east to west.3Naphtali will have one portion; it will border the territory of Asher from east to west.4Manasseh will have one portion; it will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.5Ephraim will have one portion; it will border the territory of Manasseh from east to west.6Reuben will have one portion; it will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.7Judah will have one portion; it will border the territory of Reuben from east to west.8‘Bordering the territory of Judah from east to west will be the portion you are to present as a special gift. It will be 25,000 cubits[1] wide, and its length from east to west will equal one of the tribal portions; the sanctuary will be in the centre of it.9‘The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[2] wide.10This will be the sacred portion for the priests. It will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. In the centre of it will be the sanctuary of the Lord.11This will be for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites, who were faithful in serving me and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.12It will be a special gift to them from the sacred portion of the land, a most holy portion, bordering the territory of the Levites.13‘Alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites will be allotted a portion of land 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. Its total length will be 25,000 cubits and its width 10,000 cubits.14They must not sell or exchange any of it. This is the best of the land and must not pass into other hands, because it is holy to the Lord.15‘The remaining area, 5,000 cubits[3] wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for the common use of the city, for houses and for pasture-land. The city will be in the centre of it16and will have these measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits,[4] the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.17The pasture-land for the city will be 250 cubits[5] on the north, 250 cubits on the south, 250 cubits on the east, and 250 cubits on the west.18What remains of the area, bordering on the sacred portion and running the length of it, will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.19The workers from the city who farm it will come from all the tribes of Israel.20The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits on each side. As a special gift you will set aside the sacred portion, along with the property of the city.21‘What remains on both sides of the area formed by the sacred portion and the property of the city will belong to the prince. It will extend eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the sacred portion to the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. Both these areas running the length of the tribal portions will belong to the prince, and the sacred portion with the temple sanctuary will be in the centre of them.22So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the centre of the area that belongs to the prince. The area belonging to the prince will lie between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin.23‘As for the rest of the tribes: ‘Benjamin will have one portion; it will extend from the east side to the west side.24Simeon will have one portion; it will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.25Issachar will have one portion; it will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.26Zebulun will have one portion; it will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.27Gad will have one portion; it will border the territory of Zebulun from east to west.28The southern boundary of Gad will run south from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.29‘This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.
The gates of the new city
30‘These will be the exits of the city: ‘beginning on the north side, which is 4,500 cubits long,31the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. The three gates on the north side will be the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah and the gate of Levi.32On the east side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin and the gate of Dan.33On the south side, which measures 4,500 cubits, will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar and the gate of Zebulun.34On the west side, which is 4,500 cubits long, will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher and the gate of Naphtali.35‘The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.[6] ‘And the name of the city from that time on will be, “The Lord is there.” ’
1‘Here are the tribes. They are listed by their names. ‘Dan will receive one share of land. It will be at the northern border of Israel. The border will follow the Hethlon road to Lebo Hamath. Hazar Enan will be part of the border. So will the northern border of Damascus next to Hamath. Dan’s northern border will run from east to west.2Asher will receive one share. It will border the territory of Dan from east to west.3Naphtali will receive one share. It will border the territory of Asher from east to west.4Manasseh will receive one share. It will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.5Ephraim will receive one share. It will border the territory of Manasseh from east to west.6Reuben will receive one share. It will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.7Judah will receive one share. It will border the territory of Reuben from east to west.8‘You must give one share as a special gift to me. It will border the territory of Judah from east to west. It will be 10 miles wide. It will be as long as the border of each of the territories of the tribes. Its border will run from east to west. The temple will be in the centre of that strip of land.9‘Give that special share of land to me. It will be 10 miles long and 4 miles wide.10It will be the sacred share of land for the priests. It will be 10 miles long on the north side. It will be 4 miles wide on the west side. It will be 4 miles wide on the east side. And it will be 10 miles long on the south side. My temple will be in the centre of it.11This share of land will be for the priests who are set apart to me. They will come from the family line of Zadok. The members of that family served me faithfully. They did not go astray as the Levites and other Israelites did.12Their share of land will be a special gift to them. It will be part of the sacred share of the land. It will be very holy. Its border will run along the territory of the Levites.13‘The Levites will receive a share. It will be next to the territory of the priests. The Levites’ share will be 10 miles long and 4 miles wide.14They must not sell or trade any of it. It is the best part of the land. It must not be handed over to anyone else. It is set apart to me.15‘The area that remains is 2 miles wide. It is 10 miles long. It will not be holy. The people in Jerusalem can build houses there. They can use some of it as grasslands. The city will be in the centre of it.16Each of the four sides of the city will be 1.75 miles long.17Each of the four sides of the city’s grasslands will be 150 metres long.18What remains of the area will be 4 miles long on the east and west sides. Its border will run along the border of the sacred share. Its crops will supply food for the city workers.19They will farm the area. They will come from all the tribes of Israel.20The entire area will be a square. Each of its four sides will be 10 miles long. Set the sacred share apart as a special gift to me. Do the same thing with the property of the city.21‘The area that remains on both sides will belong to the prince. So his land does not include the sacred share and the property of the city. The eastern part of his land will reach from the sacred share all the way to the eastern border. The western part will reach from the sacred share to the western border. The sacred share itself is 10 miles long on its east and west sides. Both of those areas will be right next to the borders of the two tribes on the north and south sides. They will belong to the prince. The sacred share will be in the centre of them. It will have the temple in it.22The property of the Levites will lie in the centre of the prince’s share. So will the property of the city. The prince’s land will lie between the borders of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.23‘Here is the land for the rest of the tribes. ‘Benjamin will receive one share. It will reach from the eastern border to the western border.24Simeon will receive one share. It will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.25Issachar will receive one share. It will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.26Zebulun will receive one share. It will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.27Gad will receive one share. It will border the territory of Zebulun from east to west.28The southern border of Gad will run south from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh. It will continue along the Wadi of Egypt. It will end at the Mediterranean Sea.29‘This is the land you must divide among the tribes of Israel. And these will be the shares they will receive,’ announces the LORD and King.
The gates of the new city
30‘Here is a list of the gates of the city. ‘Start with its north side. It will be 1.75 miles long.31The city gates will be named after the tribes of Israel. The north side will have three gates. They will be the gates of Reuben, Judah and Levi.32The east side will be 1.75 miles long. It will have three gates. They will be the gates of Joseph, Benjamin and Dan.33The south side will be 1.75 miles long. It will have three gates. They will be the gates of Simeon, Issachar and Zebulun.34The west side will be 1.75 miles long. It will have three gates. They will be the gates of Gad, Asher and Naphtali.35‘The city will be 6.5 miles round. ‘From that time on, its name will be “The LORD Is There.” ’

King James Version
1Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.2And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.3And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.4And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.5And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.6And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.7And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.8And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.9The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.10And for them, even for the priests, shall be this 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 the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.11It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.12And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.13And over against 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.14And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.15And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.16And 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.17And the suburbs of the city shall be 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.18And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion ; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.19And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.20All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.21And 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, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.22Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince', between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.23As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion .24And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion .25And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion .26And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion .27And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion .28And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.29This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.30And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.31And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.32And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.33And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.34At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.35It was round about eighteen thousand measures : and the name of the city from that day shall be , The LORD is there.

Einheitsübersetzung 2016
from Katholisches Bibelwerk1Das sind die Namen der Stämme: Im Norden, entlang dem Weg von Hetlon nach Lebo-Hamat und nach Hazar-Enan - das Gebiet von Damaskus liegt dabei nördlich, seitlich von Hamat - gehört von Osten nach Westen Dan ein Anteil.2Neben dem Gebiet Dans von Osten nach Westen Ascher - ein Anteil;3neben dem Gebiet Aschers von Osten nach Westen Naftali - ein Anteil;4neben dem Gebiet Naftalis von Osten nach Westen Manasse - ein Anteil;5neben dem Gebiet Manasses von Osten nach Westen Efraim - ein Anteil;6neben dem Gebiet Efraims von Osten nach Westen Ruben - ein Anteil;7neben dem Gebiet Rubens von Osten nach Westen Juda - ein Anteil.8Neben dem Gebiet Judas von Osten nach Westen soll das Hebeopfer sein, das ihr entrichten sollt, 25 000 Ellen breit und genauso lang wie jeder andere Anteil von Osten nach Westen. In seiner Mitte liegt das Heiligtum. (Eze 48:1)9Das Hebeopfer, das ihr dem HERRN als Abgabe entrichtet, hat eine Länge von 25 000 Ellen und eine Breite von 20 000 Ellen.[1]10Das heilige Hebeopfer soll, wie folgt, eingeteilt werden: Den Priestern soll ein Stück gehören, das im Norden 25 000 Ellen lang ist, im Westen 10 000 Ellen breit, im Osten 10 000 Ellen breit und im Süden auch 25 000 Ellen lang. Das Heiligtum des HERRN soll in seiner Mitte liegen.11Den geweihten Priestern aus den Nachkommen Zadoks, die meinen Dienst verrichtet haben und die nicht abgeirrt sind, als die Israeliten ebenso in die Irre gingen wie die Leviten,12ihnen soll als Hebeopfer ein Stück von dem Land gehören, das als Hebeopfer entrichtet wurde; es ist hochheilig und liegt neben dem Gebiet der Leviten.13Den Leviten soll wie den Priestern ein Gebiet von 25 000 Ellen Länge und 10 000 Ellen Breite gehören. Das Ganze hat also eine Länge von 25 000 Ellen und eine Breite von 20 000 Ellen. (Le 25:32)14Man darf nichts davon verkaufen oder zum Tausch anbieten noch darf man dieses beste Stück des Landes auf andere übertragen; denn es ist dem HERRN heilig.15Die 5 000 Ellen, die längs der 25 000 Ellen in der Breite noch übrig bleiben, sind nicht heilig, sondern gehören der Stadt als Wohngebiet und Weidefläche. Die Stadt soll mitten darin liegen. (Re 21:12)16Ihre Maße sollen im Norden 4500 Ellen und im Süden 4 500 Ellen betragen, ebenso 4 500 Ellen im Osten und 4 500 Ellen im Westen.17Die Weidefläche der Stadt erstreckt sich 250 Ellen nach Norden, 250 Ellen nach Süden, 250 Ellen nach Osten und 250 Ellen nach Westen.18Was dann der Länge nach noch übrig ist längs des heiligen Hebeopfers, sind 10 000 Ellen nach Osten und 10 000 Ellen nach Westen. Es liegt längs der heiligen Hebeopfer und von seinen Erträgen sollen sich die Arbeiter der Stadt ernähren.19Die Arbeiter der Stadt, die dieses Stück bebauen, sollen aus allen Stämmen Israels sein.20Das ganze Hebeopfer soll 25 000 mal 25 000 Ellen betragen. Als Quadrat einschließlich des Eigentums der Stadt sollt ihr das heilige Hebeopfer entrichten.21Was zu beiden Seiten des heiligen Hebeopfers und des Besitzes der Stadt übrig bleibt, soll dem Fürsten gehören: Von den 25 000 Ellen des Hebeopfers bis zur Ostgrenze und von den 25 000 Ellen der Westseite bis zur Westgrenze, entsprechend den Stammesanteilen, sollen dem Fürsten gehören. Das heilige Hebeopfer und das Tempelheiligtum liegen mitten darin.22Abgesehen vom Besitz der Leviten und abgesehen vom Besitz der Stadt, die mitten in dem Gebiet liegen, das dem Fürsten gehört, soll das Gebiet zwischen der Grenze Judas und der Grenze Benjamins dem Fürsten gehören.23Die übrigen Stämme: Von Osten nach Westen Benjamin - ein Anteil;24neben dem Gebiet Benjamins von Osten nach Westen Simeon - ein Anteil;25neben dem Gebiet Simeons von Osten nach Westen Issachar - ein Anteil;26neben dem Gebiet Issachars von Osten nach Westen Sebulon - ein Anteil;27neben dem Gebiet Sebulons von Osten nach Westen Gad - ein Anteil.28Neben dem Gebiet Gads verläuft im Negeb die Südgrenze; sie führt von Tamar zu den Quellen von Meribat-Kadesch und zu dem Bach, der ins große Meer fließt.29Das ist das Land, das ihr als Erbbesitz an die Stämme Israels verlosen sollt, und das sind ihre Anteile - Spruch GOTTES, des Herrn.
Tore und Name der Stadt
30Das sind die Ausgänge der Stadt: auf der Nordseite, 4 500 Maß, drei Tore:31- die Stadttore aber sind nach den Stämmen Israels benannt -: drei Tore im Norden: das Tor Ruben ist eines, das Tor Juda ist eines, das Tor Levi ist eines; (Re 21:12)32auf der Ostseite, 4 500 Maß, drei Tore: das Tor Josef ist eines, das Tor Benjamin ist eines, das Tor Dan ist eines;33auf der Südseite, 4 500 Maß, drei Tore: das Tor Simeon ist eines, das Tor Issachar ist eines, das Tor Sebulon ist eines;34die Westseite, 4 500 Maß, drei Tore: das Tor Gad ist eines, das Tor Ascher ist eines, das Tor Naftali ist eines.35Der Umfang beträgt 18 000. Und der Name der Stadt ist von heute an: Hier ist der HERR. (Re 3:12; Re 21:3)
