48  Na ko nga ingoa enei o nga hapu. Kei te pito i te raki ki te taha o te ara ki Heterono, i te mea ka haere ki Hamata, kei Hataraenana, kei te rohe ki Ramahiku ki te taha ki te raki, tae noa ki te taha o Hamata; ko ona taha enei ki te rawhiti, ki t e hauauru; he wahi mo Rana.

Na hei te taha o te rohe ki a Rana, hei te taha ki te rawhiti tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Ahera.

A hei te taha i te rohe ki a Ahera hei te taha ki te rawhiti tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Napatari.

Hei te taha ano i te rohe ki a Napatari, hei te taha ki te rawhiti tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Manahi.

Hei te taha ano o te rohe ki a Manahi, hei te taha ki te rawhiti tae noa ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Eparaima.

Hei te taha ano o te rohe ki a Eparaima, hei te taha i te rawhiti tae noa ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Reupena.

Hei te taha ano o te rohe ki a Reupena, hei te taha ki te rawhiti tae noa ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Hura.

Na, ko te whakahere e homai e koutou, hei te taha o ta Hura, hei te taha i te rawhiti tae noa ki te hauauru, kia rua tekau ma rima mano kakaho te whanui, kia rite te roa ki to tetahi o nga wahi, i te rawhiti tae noa ki te hauauru: a hei waenganui o reira te wahi tapu.

Ko te whakahere e homai e koutou ki a Ihowa, kia rua tekau ma rima mano kakaho te roa, kia kotahi tekau mano te whanui.

10 Na mo ratou, mo nga tohunga, tenei whakahere tapu; whaka te raki, e rua tekau ma rima mano te roa, whaka te hauauru kotahi tekau mano te whanui, whaka te rawhiti kotahi tekau mano te whanui, whaka te tonga e rua tekau ma rima mano te roa: a ki w aenganui o reira te wahi tapu o Ihowa.

11 Mo nga tohunga tera, mo nga ta a a Haroko kua oti te whakatapu, mo te hunga i tiaki i aku mea, a kihai i kotiti ke i te kotititanga ketanga o nga tama a Iharaira, kihai i pera me nga Riwaiti i kotiti ke ra.

12 Na hei whakahere tenei ma ratou no te whakahere o te whenua, he mea tino tapu rawa, i te taha o te rohe o nga Riwaiti.

13 Na i te ritenga ake o te rohe o to nga tohunga, kia rua tekau ma rima mano te roa o to nga Riwaiti; kia kotahi tekau mano te whanui, ko te roa katoa e rua tekau ma rima mano; ko te whanui kotahi tekau mano.

14 Kaua hoki tetahi wahi o reira e hokona, kaua ano e whakawhititia, kaua hoki nga hua matamua o te whenua e whakariroia ketia ranei: he tapu hoki ki a Ihowa.

15 Na, ko nga mano e rima o te whanui i mahue i te ritenga ake o nga mano e rua tekau ma rima, hei wahi noa tera mo te pa, hei nohoanga, hei wahi i waho ake o te pa; hei waenganui ano o reira te pa.

16 Ko ona roa ano enei; ko te taha ki te raki e wha mano e rima rau, ko te taha ki te tonga e wha mano e rima rau, ko te taha ki te rawhiti e wha mano e rima rau, ko te taha ki te hauauru e wha mano e rima rau.

17 A kia whai wahi a waho ake o te pa; whaka te raki e rua rau e rima tekau, whaka te tonga e rua rau e rima tekau, whaka te rawhiti e rua rau e rima tekau, whaka te hauauru e rua rau e rima tekau.

18 Na, ko te toenga o te roa i te taha o te wahi tapu i whakaherea, kotahi tekau mano ki te rawhiti, kotahi tekau mano ki te hauauru: na, ko tera wahi hei te taha i te wahi tapu i whakaherea; hei kai ona hua ma nga kaimahi o te pa.

19 Na, ko nga kaimahi katoa i roto i te pa, no nga hapu katoa o Iharaira, ma ratou e mahi a reira.

20 Kia rua tekau ma rima mano tetahi taha o te whakahere katoa, kia rua tekau ma rima mano ano tetahi taha: kia wha nga taha o te whakahere tapu e whakaherea e koutou, he mea huihui atu ki te wahi mo te pa.

21 Na mo te rangatira te toenga i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, o te whakahere tapu, o te wahi ano i te pa, i te ritenga ake ano o nga mano e rua tekau ma rima i whakaherea nei, i te rohe ki te rawhiti, whaka te hauauru hoki, i te ritenga ake ano o n ga mano e rua tekau ma rima i te rohe ki te hauauru, i te ritenga ake ano o nga wahi mo te rangatira: na ko te whakahere tapu me te wahi tapu o te whare hei waenganui o reira.

22 Na, ka takoto atu i te wahi i nga Riwaiti, i te wahi ano i te pa, ara tera i waenganui o te wahi a te rangatira, i waenganui o te rohe ki a Hura, o te rohe hoki ki a Pineamine, mo te rangatira tera.

23 Na, mo era atu o nga hapu: i te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, kia kotahi te wahi mo Pineamine.

24 Hei te rohe o ta Pineamine, hei te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, kia kotahi te wahi mo Himiona.

25 Hei te rohe ano o ta Himiona, hei te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Ihakara.

26 Hei te rohe ano o ta Ihakara, hei te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Hepurona.

27 Hei te rohe ano o ta Hepurona, hei te taha ki te rawhiti, tae noa ki te taha ki te hauauru, he wahi mo Kara.

28 Hei te rohe ano o ta Kara, hei te taha ki te tonga whaka te tonga, ka takoto atu te rohe i Tamara, tae noa ki nga wai o Meripata Karehe, ki te awa o Ihipa, ki te moana nui.

29 Ko te whenua tenei e wehea e koutou hei wahi tupu mo nga hapu o Iharaira, ko o ratou wahi ano enei, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

30 Ko nga putanga atu ano enei o te pa i te taha ki te raki, e wha mano e rima rau kakaho te roa,

31 Ko nga kuwaha o te pa me tapa he ingoa ki nga ingoa o nga hapu o Iharaira; e toru nga kuwaha whaka te raki: ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Reupena; ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Hura; ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Riwai.

32 Na i te taha ki te rawhiti e wha mano e rima rau kakaho: e toru ano nga kuwaha; ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Hohepa, ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Pineamine, ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Rana.

33 Na i te taha ki te tonga e wha mano e rima rau kakaho te roa, he mea whanganga; e toru ano nga kuwaha; ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Himiona, ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Ihakara, ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Hepurona.

34 I te taha ki te hauauru e wha mano e rima rau kakaho, me nga kuwaha e toru ano; ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Kara, ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Ahera, ko tetahi ko te kuwaha o Napatari.

35 Kotahi tekau ma waru mano kakaho ki te taiawhiotia: na, ko te ingoa o te pa a taua ra tonu iho, Ko Ihowa kei reira.

The Division of the Land

48 “These are the tribes, listed by name: At the northern frontier, Dan(A) will have one portion; it will follow the Hethlon road(B) to Lebo Hamath;(C) 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.

“Asher(D) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Dan from east to west.

“Naphtali(E) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Asher from east to west.

“Manasseh(F) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Naphtali from east to west.

“Ephraim(G) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Manasseh(H) from east to west.(I)

“Reuben(J) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Ephraim from east to west.

“Judah(K) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Reuben from east to west.

“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[a] wide, and its length from east to west will equal one of the tribal portions; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.(L)

“The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[b] wide.(M) 10 This 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 center of it will be the sanctuary of the Lord.(N) 11 This will be for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites,(O) who were faithful in serving me(P) and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.(Q) 12 It 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 have an allotment 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. Its total length will be 25,000 cubits and its width 10,000 cubits.(R) 14 They 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.(S)

15 “The remaining area, 5,000 cubits[c] wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for the common use of the city, for houses and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it 16 and will have these measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits,[d] the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.(T) 17 The pastureland for the city will be 250 cubits[e] on the north, 250 cubits on the south, 250 cubits on the east, and 250 cubits on the west. 18 What 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.(U) 19 The workers from the city who farm it will come from all the tribes of Israel. 20 The 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 center of them.(V) 22 So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the center 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(W) will have one portion; it will extend from the east side to the west side.

24 “Simeon(X) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Benjamin from east to west.

25 “Issachar(Y) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Simeon from east to west.

26 “Zebulun(Z) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Issachar from east to west.

27 “Gad(AA) will have one portion; it will border the territory of Zebulun from east to west.

28 “The southern boundary of Gad will run south from Tamar(AB) to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, then along the Wadi of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.(AC)

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.(AD)

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, 31 the 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.

32 “On 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.

33 “On 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.

34 “On 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.(AE)

35 “The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.[f]

“And the name of the city from that time on will be:

the Lord is there.(AF)
