48:8 “Next to the border of Judah from the east side to the west will be the allotment you must set apart. It is to be eight and a quarter miles ³  wide, and the same length as one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west; the sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 48:9 The allotment you set apart to the Lord will be eight and a quarter miles ⁴  in length and three and one-third miles ⁵  in width. 48:10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles ⁶  in length, toward the west three and one-third miles ⁷  in width, toward the east three and one-third miles ⁸  in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles ⁹  in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle. 48:11 This will be for the priests who are set apart from the descendants of Zadok who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel strayed off, like the Levites did. ¹⁰  48:12 It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a most holy place, next to the border of the Levites.

48:13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment eight and a quarter miles ¹¹  in length and three and one-third miles ¹²  in width. The whole length will be eight and a quarter miles ¹³  and the width three and one-third miles. ¹⁴  48:14 They must not sell or exchange any of it; they must not transfer this choice portion of land, for it is set apart ¹⁵  to the Lord.

48:15 “The remainder, one and two-thirds miles ¹⁶  in width and eight and a quarter miles ¹⁷  in length, will be for common use by the city, for houses and for open space. The city will be in the middle of it; 48:16 these will be its measurements: The north side will be one and one-half miles, ¹⁸  the south side one and one-half miles, the east side one and one-half miles, and the west side one and one-half miles. 48:17 The city will have open spaces: On the north there will be 437½ feet, ¹⁹  on the south 437½ feet, on the east 437½ feet, and on the west 437½ feet. 48:18 The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment will be three and one-third miles ²⁰  to the east and three and one-third miles toward the west, and it will be beside the holy allotment. Its produce will be for food for the workers of the city. 48:19 The workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel will cultivate it. 48:20 The whole allotment will be eight and a quarter miles ²¹  square, you must set apart the holy allotment with the possession of the city.

48:21 “The rest, on both sides of the holy allotment and the property of the city, will belong to the prince. Extending from the eight and a quarter miles ²²  of the holy allotment to the east border, and westward from the eight and a quarter miles ²³  to the west border, alongside the portions, it will belong to the prince. The holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it. 48:22 The property of the Levites and of the city will be in the middle of that which belongs to the prince. The portion between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin will be for the prince.

48:23 “As for the rest of the tribes: From the east side to the west side, Benjamin will have one portion. 48:24 Next to the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon will have one portion. 48:25 Next to the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar will have one portion. 48:26 Next to the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun will have one portion. 48:27 Next to the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad will have one portion.

45:14 Then he threw himself on the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. 45:15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them. After this his brothers talked with him.

45:16 Now it was reported ¹⁴  in the household of Pharaoh, “Joseph’s brothers have arrived.” It pleased ¹⁵  Pharaoh and his servants. 45:17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go ¹⁶  to the land of Canaan! 45:18 Get your father and your households and come to me! Then I will give you ¹⁷  the best land in Egypt and you will eat ¹⁸  the best ¹⁹  of the land.’ 45:19 You are also commanded to say, ²⁰  ‘Do this: Take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives. Bring your father and come.
