Ezekiel 48:1
Now these are the names of the tribes - See the division mentioned Numbers 34:7-12, which casts much light upon this.

2 by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, one section for aAsher;

6 by the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, one section for aReuben;
7 by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west, one section for aJudah;
8 by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be athe district which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the other portions, from the east side to the west, with the bsanctuary in the center.
9 “The district that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width.
10 To these—to the priests—the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. The sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the center.
11 aIt shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are sanctified, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, bas the Levites went astray.
