“These are the tribes: “Dan: one portion, along the northern boundary, following the Hethlon road that turns off to the entrance of Hamath as far as Hazor-enon so that the territory of Damascus lies to the north alongside Hamath, the northern border stretching from east to west. “Asher: one portion, bordering Dan from east to west. “Naphtali: one portion, bordering Asher from east to west. “Manasseh: one portion, bordering Naphtali from east to west. “Ephraim: one portion, bordering Manasseh from east to west. “Reuben: one portion, bordering Ephraim from east to west. “Judah: one portion, bordering Reuben from east to west. “Bordering Judah from east to west is the consecrated area that you will set aside as holy: a square approximately seven by seven miles, with the Sanctuary set at the center. The consecrated area reserved for GOD is to be seven miles long and a little less than three miles wide.
