border.

And the west border shall be from the great sea even unto Hemath. This is the border of the evening.

So shall ye divide the land among the tribes of Israel.

And when ye cast lots to divide the land among you, then ye shall keep the strangers that sojourn among you, and that beget children among you, even as the inhabitants among the children of Israel;

And they shall have their portion in the land, every one of them of the tribe wherein he dwelleth, saith the LORD GOD.
(Ezekial)
Chapter 48
Distribution of the Holy Land. Description of the holy city.

These are the names of the tribes. From northward, from Hethlon toward Hemath, and Hazar-enon, and from Damascus toward Hemath: this shall Dan have for his part from the east even unto the west.

Beside Dan shall Asser have his part from the east even unto the west.

Beside Asher shall Naphtali have his part from the east even unto the west.

Beside Naphtali shall Manasseh have his part from the east even unto the west.

Beside Manasseh shall Ephraim have his part from the east even unto the west.

And Reuben shall have his part with Ephraim from the east even unto the west.

And Judah shall have his part with Reuben from the east even unto the west.

And beside Judah ye shall set apart a portion from the east even unto the west, the breadth and the length of twenty and five thousand rods, a portion of the portions that are from the east even unto the west: therein shall the sanctuary be.

And from it ye shall set apart unto the LORD a portion twenty and five thousand rods long, and ten thousand rods broad.

And the same holy part shall be the priest’s, even twenty and five thousand rods on the north side, and on the south side, and ten thousand broad on the east side, and on the west side.
And the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.

This shall be sanctified unto the priests, even to the sons of Zadok, which have kept my statutes, and have not fallen away with the children of Israel, as the Levites have fallen away.

And this separate part of the land shall be their own, wherein is the holy of holies, beside the border of the Levites.

And the Levites shall have beside the priest’s border also twenty and five thousand rods in length, and ten thousand in breadth: for all the length shall be twenty and five thousand rods, and the breadth ten thousand rods.

And they shall not sell any of it, nor change it, lest the firstfruits of the land be taken away: for it is hallowed unto the LORD.

But the residue of the five thousand rods in breadth against the twenty and five thousand rods in length, that shall be unholy unto the city to dwell therein, and to the suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

And this shall be their measure, four thousand and five hundred rods on the north side, and on the south side; and on the east side, and on the west side, four thousand and five hundred.

And the suburbs shall have two hundred and fifty measures on the north side, and on the south side; and on the east side, and on the west side, two hundred and fifty measures.

And the rest of the length thereof, beside that which is set apart, and that which is sanctified, even ten thousand rods toward the east, and ten thousand rods toward the west, shall be for the maintenance of them that work in the city.

And the labourers shall work out of all the tribes of Israel of the city, 20. That the whole separation of the twenty and five thousand rods into the four quarters might be a holy separation for the possession of the city.

And that which remaineth on either side, beside the separate holy part, and beside the city part, even twenty and five thousand rods toward the east, and toward the west, shall be all the prince’s. And the separate holy part, and the house of the sanctuary, shall be in the midst thereof.

And that which is between them, between the Levites’ portion, and between the city’s portion, and between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be the prince’s.

Afterward shall the other tribes be: Benjamin shall have his part from the east even unto the west.

And beside the border of Benjamin shall Simeon have his part from the east even unto the west.

Beside the border of Shimeon shall Issachar have his part from the east even unto the west.

Beside the border of Issachar shall Zebulun have his part from the east even unto the west.

Beside the border of Zebulun shall Gad have his part from the east even unto the west.

And beside Gad is the border toward the south, from Tamar unto the waters of Hader unto Kadesh, and toward the waters of the great sea.

So shall the land be divided for an inheritance among the tribes of Israel; and this shall be their inheritance, saith the LORD GOD.

And so shall the city be: four thousand and five hundred rods toward the north.

And the gates of the city shall be called by the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates toward the north: the first gate Reuben, the second Judah, the third Levi.

And there were four thousand and five hundred rods toward the east, and three gates: the first gate Joseph, the second Benjamin, the third Dan.

And at noon there were four thousand and five hundred rods, and three gates: the first gate, Simeon; the second, Issachar; the third, Zebulun.

And at even four thousand and five hundred rods, and three gates: one gate Gad, the other Assyria, the third Naphtali.

So it shall have about and about eighteen thousand rods. And then shall the city be called: Here is the LORD!

The prophet Daniel ^
Chapter 1
Daniels and his friends upbringing and representation

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came before Jerusalem, and besieged her.

And the LORD delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah unto him, and certain vessels of the house of God, which he brought into the land of Shinar, into the house of his God, and put the vessels into the treasury of his God.

And the king spake unto Aspenas his chief chamberlain, that he should choose of the children of Israel of the royal tribe and of the sons of lords

boys, not infirm, but handsome, sensible, wise, prudent, and understanding, able to serve in the king’s court, and to learn the Chaldean writing and language.

To such the king provided what should be given them daily of his meat, and of the wine which he himself drank; that, being thus brought up three years, they should afterward minister before the king.

Among whom were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, of the children of Judah.

And the chief eunuch gave them names, and called Daniel Belteshazzar, and Hananiah Shadrach, and Mishael Meshach, and Azariah Abednego.

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he himself drank: and he besought the chief eunuch that he should not defile himself.

And God gave Daniel that the chief steward might be favorable and gracious unto him.

And he said unto him, I am afraid of my lord the king, which hath given you your meat and your drink: if he should see your faces more wretched than the faces of the rest of the children of your age, ye would deprive me of my life by the king.

And Daniel spake unto Melzar, to whom Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, the chief eunuch, commanded:

Try thy servants ten days, and give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.

And then let our form be seen before thee, and the children that eat of the king’s meat: and
after that thou shalt see, after that thou shalt create with thy servants.

And he obeyed them therein, and tried them ten days.

And after ten days they were more beautiful and fuller in body than all the boys that did eat the king’s meat.

And Melzar put away their meat and their drink, and gave them vegetables.

But the God of these four gave them skill and understanding in all writing and wisdom: but to Daniel he gave understanding in all visions and dreams.

And when the time was expired, which the king had appointed that they should be brought in, the chief eunuch brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

And the king spake unto them, and there was found none like Daniel, and Hananiah, and Mishael, and Azariah, among them all. And they became the king’s servants.

And the king found them ten times wiser and more understanding in all things that he asked them than all the astrologers and wise men that were in all his kingdom.

And Daniel lived until the first year of Cyrus the king.
(Daniel)
Chapter 2
Daniel lays out the dream image of Nebuchadnezzar.

In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream, and was troubled, and awoke.

And he commanded all the astrologers, and the wise men, and the magicians, and the Chaldeans, to come together, and tell the king his dream. And they came and stood before the king.

And the king said unto them: I have had a dream, and it troubled me: and I desired to know what dream it was.

And the Chaldeans said unto the king in the Chaldean tongue, O king, may God grant thee long life. Tell thy servants
