Reading for May 20th

Read Ezekiel 48:1-35
The tribes are assigned equal portions of land arrayed along the length of the
land from north to south.
In verses 1-7 the northern tribes are listed from north to south as Dan, Asher,
Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, Judah.
In verses 8-22 the "holy district," or levitical allotment (45.1-9), is defined in detail.
The priests are placed in the north, and the sanctuary is assigned to their portion; the Levites are placed to the south of the priests; and the portion reserved for Israel, which contains the city (Jerusalem), is placed to the south of the Levites.
The portion allotted to the prince is on either side of the "holy district."
