1 A ovo su imena plemenima. Od kraja prema severu, uz put etlonski kako se ide u Emat i Asarenan, na među damaštansku na sever pokraj Emata, od istočne strane do zapadne, Danovo, jedno.

2 A uz među Danovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Asirovo, jedno.

3 A uz među Asirovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Neftalimovo, jedno.

4 A uz među Neftalimovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Manasijino, jedno.

5 A uz među Manasijinu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Jefremovo, jedno.

6 A uz među Jefremovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Ruvimovo, jedno.

7 A uz među Ruvimovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Judino, jedno.

8 A uz među Judinu, od istočne strane do zapadne, neka bude prinos što ćete prineti, dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u širinu, a u dužinu kao koji drugi deo, od istočne strane do zapadne, i svetinja da bude usred njega.

9 Prinos koji ćete prineti Gospodu, neka bude od dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u dužinu i od deset hiljada u širinu.

10 I taj će sveti prinos biti sveštenicima, sa severa dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u dužinu, a sa zapada deset hiljada u širinu, i s istoka deset hiljada u širinu, a s juga dvadeset i pet hiljada u dužinu; i svetinja Gospodnja da bude usred njega.

11 To će biti sveštenicima posvećenim između sinova Sadokovih koji držaše šta sam naredio da se drži i ne zađoše kao drugi Leviti, kad zađoše sinovi Izrailjevi.

12 Njihov će biti sveti prinos od zemlje, svetinja nad svetinjama, uz međe levitske.

13 A Leviti da imaju uz međe svešteničke dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata u dužinu, i deset hiljada u širinu; sva dužina da bude dvadeset i pet hiljada, a širina deset hiljada.

14 A od toga ništa da ne prodaju ni promenjuju, ni da prenose prvina zemaljskih, jer je svetinja Gospodu.

15 A pet hiljada lakata što ostaje u širinu prema dvadeset i pet hiljada biće mesto posvećeno, za grad, za naselje, i za podgrađa, i grad da bude usred njega.

16 A ovo da mu je mera: sa severne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata, i s južne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina, i s istočne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina, i sa zapadne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina.

17 I podgrađe će biti dvesta i pedeset lakata sa severa, i dvesta i pedeset s juga, i dvesta i pedeset s istoka, i dvesta i pedeset sa zapada.

18 A šta ostane u dužinu prema svetom prinosu, deset hiljada lakata na istok i deset hiljada na zapad, prema svetom prinosu, od toga dohodak neka bude hrana slugama gradskim.

19 A sluge koje će služiti gradu biće iz svih plemena Izrailjevih.

20 Sav ovaj prinos, dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata uz dvadeset i pet hiljada, četvrtast, prineće u prinos sveti za dostojanje gradu.

21 A šta ostane s obe strane svetom prinosu i dostojanju gradskom, prema dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata prinosa do međe istočne, i sa zapada prema dvadeset i pet hiljada lakata duž zapadne međe prema delovima, to da je kneževo; tako će sveti prinos i svetinja doma biti u sredi.

22 A od dostojanja levitskog i od dostojanja gradskog, usred onog što je kneževo, između međe Judine i međe Venijaminove, da je kneževo.

23 A ostala plemena biće: od istočne strane do zapadne strane Venijaminovo, jedno;

24 A uz među Venijaminovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Simeunovo, jedno;

25 A uz među Simeunovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Isaharovo, jedno;

26 A uz među Isaharovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Zavulonovo, jedno;

27 A uz među Zavulonovu, od istočne strane do zapadne, Gadovo, jedno;

28 A uz među Gadovu s južne strane, na jug, međa je od Tamara do vode Merive u Kadisu, duž potoka do velikog mora.

29 To je zemlja koju ćete žrebom razdeliti plemenima Izrailjevim u nasledstvo, i to su im delovi, govori Gospod Gospod.

30 A ovo su krajevi gradu: sa severne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata da bude mera;

31 A vrata gradska da se nazovu imenima plemena Izrailjevih, troja vrata sa severa: jedna vrata Ruvimova, jedna vrata Judina, jedna vrata Levijeva;

32 I s istočne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata, i troja vrata: jedna vrata Josifova, jedna vrata Venijaminova, jedna vrata Danova;

33 I s južne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata da bude mera, i troja vrata: jedna vrata Simeunova, jedna vrata Isaharova, jedna vrata Zavulonova;

34 Sa zapadne strane četiri hiljada i pet stotina lakata, i troja vrata: jedna vrata Gadova, jedna vrata Asirova, jedna vrata Neftalimova.

35 Unaokolo će biti osamnaest hiljada lakata, a ime će gradu od tog dana biti: Gospod je tu.

157. Since our spirit means our mind, therefore "being in the spirit," as the Word sometimes says, refers to the state of our mind when it is separated from our body. In this state the prophets saw the sort of things that exist in the spiritual world; therefore this state is called "a vision of God. " At those times, the prophets' state was like the state of spirits and angels in the spiritual world. In this state our spirit can move from place to place while our body stays where it is (as is also true of our mind's eye).

This is the state I myself have been in now for twenty-six years, with the difference that I am in my spirit and my body at the same time, and only sometimes out of my body.

Ezekiel, Zechariah, Daniel, and John (when he wrote the Book of Revelation) were in this state, as is clear from the following passages: Ezekiel said, "The spirit lifted me up and led me into Chaldea to the captivity in the vision of God, in the spirit of God. In this way the vision that I saw came over me" (Ezekiel 11:1, 24). The spirit lifted Ezekiel up and he heard the earth tremble behind him (Ezekiel 3:12, 14). The spirit lifted him up between earth and heaven, and led him away to Jerusalem where he saw abominable things (Ezekiel 8:3-4). He saw four creatures that were angel guardians and various details about them (Ezekiel 1 and 10). Then he saw a new earth in the form of a new temple, and an angel measuring the temple (Ezekiel 40-48). At that time he was in a vision and in the spirit (Ezekiel 40:2; 43:5).

[2] The same thing happened to Zechariah when an angel was with him and he saw a man riding among the myrtle trees (); when he saw four horns and a man who had a string in his hand for measuring (Zechariah 1:18; 2:1-2); when he saw Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1, 6); and when he saw four chariots with horses headed off between two mountains (Zechariah 6:1-3).

Daniel was in the same state when he saw four beasts rising up out of the sea, and many details about them (Daniel 7:1-8); and when he saw battles between a ram and a goat (Daniel 8:1-14). He was in a vision when he saw those things (Daniel 7:1-2, 7, 13; 8:2; 10:1, 7-8). In a vision he saw the angel Gabriel and spoke with him [].

[3] The same thing happened to John when he wrote the Book of Revelation. He said he was in the spirit on the Lord's day (Revelation 1:10); he was carried off into the wilderness in the spirit (Revelation 17:3); and he was on a high mountain in the spirit (Revelation 21:10). He was seeing things in a vision (Revelation 9:17).

Elsewhere [in the Book of Revelation] he says that he saw the things he described. For example, he saw the Son of Humankind in the middle of seven lampstands. He saw a tabernacle, a temple, an ark, and an altar in heaven; a book sealed with seven seals and horses that came out of it; four creatures around a throne; twelve thousand chosen people, some from every tribe; a lamb on Mount Zion; locusts rising up from an abyss; a dragon and its war with Michael; a woman giving birth to a male child and running away into a desert because of the dragon; two beasts, one rising up out of the sea and another out of the land; a woman sitting on a scarlet beast; a dragon thrown into a lake of fire and sulfur; a white horse and a great supper; the holy city Jerusalem coming down, with details of its entrances, its wall, and the wall's foundations; a river of living water; and trees of life producing different types of fruit every month; and so on.

Peter, James, and John were in the same state when they saw Jesus transfigured, as was Paul when he heard ineffable things from heaven.
