&#8220;You, son of man, mark out two routes for the king of Babylon&#8217;s sword to take; both of them will originate in a single land. Make a signpost and put it at the beginning of the road leading to the city.

&#8220;Son of man, the ones living in these ruins in the land of Israel are saying, &#8216;Abraham was only one man, yet he possessed the land, but we are many; surely the land has been given to us for a possession.&#8217;<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;But as for you, son of man, your people<n id="1" /> (who are talking about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses) say to one another,<n id="2" /> &#8216;Come hear the word that comes<n id="3" /> from the <sc>Lordsc>.&#8217;

From the base of the ground to the lower edge is 3½ feet,<n id="1" /> and the width 1¾ feet;<n id="2" /> and from the smaller ledge to the larger edge, 7 feet,<n id="3" /> and the width 1¾ feet;

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;For the prince there will be land on both sides of the holy allotment and the allotted city, alongside the holy allotment and the allotted city, on the west side and on the east side; it will be comparable in length to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;These are the names of the tribes: From the northern end beside the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, as far as Hazar-enan (which is on the border of Damascus, toward the north beside Hamath), extending from the east side to the west, Dan will have one portion.

It is to be eight and a quarter miles<n id="1" /> 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.
