¹ And these [are] the names of the tribes: From the north end unto the side of the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to Hamath, Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus northward, unto the side of Hamath, and they have been his -- side east and west, Dan one,

² and by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, Asher one,

³ and by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, Naphtali one,

⁴ and by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, Manasseh one,

⁵ and by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, Ephraim one,

⁶ and by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, Reuben one,

⁷ and by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, Judah one,

⁸ and by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side is the heave-offering that ye lift up, five and twenty thousand broad and long, as one of the parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary hath been in its midst.

⁹ The heave-offering that ye lift up to Jehovah [is] five and twenty thousand long, and broad ten thousand.

¹⁰ And of these is the holy heave-offering for the priests, northward five and twenty thousand, and westward [in] breadth ten thousand, and eastward [in] breadth ten thousand, and southward [in] length five and twenty thousand: and the sanctuary of Jehovah hath been in its midst.

¹¹ For the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who erred not in the erring of the sons of Israel, as the Levites erred,

¹² even the heave-offering hath been to them, out of the heave-offering of the land, most holy, by the border of the Levites.

¹³ `And [to] the Levites over-against the border of the priests [are] five and twenty thousand [in] length, and [in] breadth ten thousand, all the length [is] five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

¹⁴ And they do not sell of it, nor exchange, nor cause to pass away the first-fruit of the land: for [it is] holy to Jehovah.

¹⁵ And the five thousand that is left in the breadth, on the front of the five and twenty thousand, is common -- for the city, for dwelling, and for suburb, and the city hath been in its midst.

¹⁶ And these [are] its measures: the north side five hundred, and four thousand, and the south side five hundred, and four thousand, and on the east side five hundred, and four thousand, and the west side five hundred, and four thousand.

¹⁷ And the suburb to the city hath been northward, fifty and two hundred, and southward, fifty and two hundred, and eastward, fifty and two hundred, and westward, fifty and two hundred.

¹⁸ `And the residue in length over-against the heave-offering of the holy [portion is] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward, and it hath been over-against the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and its increase hath been for food to the servants of the city,

¹⁹ even [to] him who is serving the city, they serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.

²⁰ All the heave-offering [is] five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand, square do ye lift up the heave-offering of the holy [portion] with the possession of the city.

²¹ `And the residue [is] for the prince, on this side and on that side of the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and of the possession of the city, on the front of the five and twenty thousand of the heave-offering unto the east border, and westward, on the front of the five and twenty thousand on the west border, over-against the portions of the prince; and the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and the sanctuary of the house, hath been in its midst.

²² And from the possession of the Levites, from the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is to the prince, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, there is to the prince.

²³ `As to the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin one,

²⁴ and by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon one,

²⁵ and by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar one,

²⁶ and by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun one,

²⁷ and by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad one,

²⁸ and by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border hath been from Tamar [to] the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream by the great sea.

²⁹ This [is] the land that ye separate by inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these [are] their portions -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

³⁰ `And these [are] the outgoings of the city on the north side, five hundred, and four thousand measures.

³¹ And the gates of the city [are] according to the names of the tribes of Israel; three gates northward: the gate of Reuben one, the gate of Judah one, the gate of Levi one.

³² And on the east side five hundred, and four thousand, and three gates: the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.

³³ And the south side five hundred, and four thousand measures, and three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one.

³⁴ The west side five hundred, and four thousand, their gates three: the gate of Gad one, the gate of Asher one, the gate of Naphtali one.

³⁵ Round about [is] eighteen thousand, and the renown of the city [is] from the day Jehovah [is] there.'

¹ He entered and was passing through Jericho.

² There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

³ He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short.

⁴ He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

⁵ When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

⁶ He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

⁷ When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."

⁸ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."

⁹ Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

¹¹ As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.

¹² He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to reign over us.'

¹⁵ "It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'

¹⁷ "He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

¹⁸ "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'

¹⁹ "So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'

²⁰ Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

²¹ for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn't lay down, and reap that which you didn't sow.'

²² "He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down, and reaping that which I didn't sow.

²³ Then why didn't you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'

²⁴ He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'

²⁵ "They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas!'

²⁶ 'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

²⁷ But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"

²⁸ Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹ It happened, when he drew near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰ saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.

³¹ If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'The Lord needs it.'"

³² Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.

³³ As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

³⁴ They said, "The Lord needs it."

³⁵ They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.

³⁶ As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.

³⁷ As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

³⁸ saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!"

³⁹ Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

⁴⁰ He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."

⁴¹ When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,

⁴² saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

⁴³ For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

⁴⁴ and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation."

⁴⁵ He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

⁴⁶ saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'!"

⁴⁷ He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

⁴⁸ They couldn't find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
