1Now these are the names of the tribes: From the northern border of the descent which divides at the entrance of Hamath, the court of Enan, the border of Damascus northward, in the direction of Hamath, of the court, from its east to its west side, there shall be one section for Dan;

καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν φυλῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν κατὰ τὸ μέρος τῆς καταβάσεως τοῦ περισχίζοντος ἐπὶ τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς Ημαθ αὐλῆς τοῦ Αιναν ὅριον Δαμασκοῦ πρὸς βορρᾶν κατὰ μέρος Ημαθ αὐλῆς καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως πρὸς θάλασσαν Δαν μία

2by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, one section for Asher;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τοῦ Δαν τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Ασηρ μία

3by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west, one section for Naphtali;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Ασηρ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Νεφθαλιμ μία

4by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, one section for Manasseh;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Νεφθαλι ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Μανασση μία

5by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, one section for Ephraim;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Μανασση ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Εφραιμ μία

6by the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, one section for Reuben;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Εφραιμ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Ρουβην μία

7by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west, one section for Judah;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Ρουβην ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Ιουδα μία

8by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the district which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the other portions, from the east side to the west, with the sanctuary in the center.

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων Ιουδα ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν ἔσται ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τοῦ ἀφορισμοῦ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες εὖρος καὶ μῆκος καθὼς μία τῶν μερίδων ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ ἔσται τὸ ἅγιον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

9'The firstfruits, the district that you shall set apart for the Lord, shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and twenty-five thousand in width.

ἀπαρχή ἣν ἀφοριοῦσι τῷ κυρίῳ μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες

10To these—to the priests—the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. The holy mountain shall be in the center.

τούτων ἔσται ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ἁγίων τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν πρὸς βορρᾶν πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ πρὸς θάλασσαν πλάτος δέκα χιλιάδες καὶ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς πλάτος δέκα χιλιάδες καὶ πρὸς νότον μῆκος εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες καὶ τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἁγίων ἔσται ἐν μέσῳ αὐτοῦ

11It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are sanctified, who keep My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις υἱοῖς Σαδδουκ τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὰς φυλακὰς τοῦ οἴκου οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπλανήθησαν ἐν τῇ πλανήσει υἱῶν Ισραηλ ὃν τρόπον ἐπλανήθησαν οἱ Λευῖται

12The firstfruit shall be given to them from the firstfruits of the land, even a most holy portion from the borders of the Levites.

καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἡ ἀπαρχὴ δεδομένη ἐκ τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τῆς γῆς ἅγιον ἁγίων ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Λευιτῶν

13'Next to the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. Its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand.

τοῖς δὲ Λευίταις τὰ ἐχόμενα τῶν ὁρίων τῶν ἱερέων μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ εὖρος δέκα χιλιάδες πᾶν τὸ μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδες

14They shall not sell or exchange any of it; neither shall they take away or remove the first produce of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.

οὐ πραθήσεται ἐξ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ καταμετρηθήσεται οὐδὲ ἀφαιρεθήσεται τὰ πρωτογενήματα τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἅγιόν ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ

15'But the five thousand cubits in width that remain, along the edge of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for general use by the city, for habitation and common land; and the city shall be in the center.

τὰς δὲ πέντε χιλιάδας τὰς περισσὰς ἐπὶ τῷ πλάτει ἐπὶ ταῖς πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάσιν προτείχισμα ἔσται τῇ πόλει εἰς τὴν κατοικίαν καὶ εἰς διάστημα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται ἡ πόλις ἐν μέσῳ αὐτοῦ

16These shall be its measurements: 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.

καὶ ταῦτα τὰ μέτρα αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς βορρᾶν πεντακόσιοι καὶ τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς νότον πεντακόσιοι καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς πεντακόσιοι καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν τετρακισχιλίους πεντακοσίους

17There shall be common land for the city: to the north two hundred and fifty cubits, to the south two hundred and fifty, to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty.

καὶ ἔσται διάστημα τῇ πόλει πρὸς βορρᾶν διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα καὶ πρὸς νότον διακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα καὶ πρὸς θάλασσαν διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα

18The rest of the length, alongside the district of the holy section, shall be ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west. It shall be the firstfruits of the holy section, and its produce shall be food for the workers of the city.

καὶ τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ μήκους τὸ ἐχόμενον τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τῶν ἁγίων δέκα χιλιάδες πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ ἔσονται αἱ ἀπαρχαὶ τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ ἔσται τὰ γενήματα αὐτῆς εἰς ἄρτους τοῖς ἐργαζομένοις τὴν πόλιν

19The workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

οἱ δὲ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν πόλιν ἐργῶνται αὐτὴν ἐκ πασῶν τῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ

20The entire firstfruits district shall be twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits, foursquare. You shall set apart the holy district from the property of the city.

πᾶσα ἡ ἀπαρχὴ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδες ἐπὶ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας τετράγωνον ἀφοριεῖτε αὐτοῦ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ ἁγίου ἀπὸ τῆς κατασχέσεως τῆς πόλεως

21'The rest shall belong to the prince, on one side and on the other of the holy district and of the city's property, next to the twenty-five thousand cubits of the holy district as far as the eastern border, and westward next to the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border, adjacent to the tribal portions. It shall be the firstfruits of the holy district, and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in the midst of it.

τὸ δὲ περισσὸν τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ ἐκ τούτου καὶ ἐκ τούτου ἀπὸ τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ εἰς τὴν κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως ἐπὶ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας μῆκος ἕως τῶν ὁρίων τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ πρὸς θάλασσαν ἐπὶ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἕως τῶν ὁρίων τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν ἐχόμενα τῶν μερίδων τοῦ ἀφηγουμένου καὶ ἔσται ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τὸ ἁγίασμα τοῦ οἴκου ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς

22Moreover, apart from the possession of the Levites and the possession of the city which are in the midst of what belongs to the leaders, the area between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall belong to the leaders.

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς κατασχέσεως τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς κατασχέσεως τῆς πόλεως ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀφηγουμένων ἔσται ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὁρίων Ιουδα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὁρίων Βενιαμιν τῶν ἀφηγουμένων ἔσται

23'As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west, Benjamin shall have one section;

καὶ τὸ περισσὸν τῶν φυλῶν ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Βενιαμιν μία

24by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, Simeon shall have one section;

25by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west, Issachar shall have one section;

26by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west, Zebulun shall have one section;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Ισσαχαρ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Ζαβουλων μία

27by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, Gad shall have one section;

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Ζαβουλων ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἕως τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν Γαδ μία

28by the borders of Gad, from the eastern parts to the southwestern parts, the borders shall be from Teman to the waters of Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea.

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν Γαδ ἕως τῶν πρὸς λίβα καὶ ἔσται τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Θαιμαν καὶ ὕδατος Μαριμωθ Καδης κληρονομίας ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς μεγάλης

29This is the land you shall divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their divisions,' says the Lord God.

αὕτη ἡ γῆ ἣν βαλεῖτε ἐν κλήρῳ ταῖς φυλαῖς Ισραηλ καὶ οὗτοι οἱ διαμερισμοὶ αὐτῶν λέγει κύριος θεός

30'These are the exits of the city. On the north side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits

καὶ αὗται αἱ διεκβολαὶ τῆς πόλεως αἱ πρὸς βορρᾶν τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι μέτρῳ

31(the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi;

καὶ αἱ πύλαι τῆς πόλεως ἐπ᾿ ὀνόμασιν φυλῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ πύλαι τρεῖς πρὸς βορρᾶν πύλη Ρουβην μία καὶ πύλη Ιουδα μία καὶ πύλη Λευι μία

32on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan;

33on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun;

καὶ τὰ πρὸς νότον τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι μέτρῳ καὶ πύλαι τρεῖς πύλη Συμεων μία καὶ πύλη Ισσαχαρ μία καὶ πύλη Ζαβουλων μία

34on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali.

καὶ τὰ πρὸς θάλασσαν τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ πεντακόσιοι μέτρῳ καὶ πύλαι τρεῖς πύλη Γαδ μία καὶ πύλη Ασηρ μία καὶ πύλη Νεφθαλιμ μία

35The circumference shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from the day on which it takes place shall be its name.'

κύκλωμα δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ χιλιάδες καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως ἀφ᾿ ἧς ἂν ἡμέρας γένηται ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς
