45:1 你們拈鬮分地為業，要獻上一分給耶和華為聖供地，長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘。這分以內，四圍都為聖地。
45:2 其中有作為聖所之地，長五百肘，寬五百肘，四面見方。四圍再有五十肘為郊野之地。
45:3 要以肘為度量地，長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘。其中有聖所，是至聖的。
45:4 這是全地的一分聖地，要歸與供聖所職事的祭司，就是親近事奉耶和華的，作為他們房屋之地與聖所之聖地。
45:5 又有一分，長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘，要歸與在殿中供職的利未人，作為二十間房屋之業。
45:6 也要分定屬城的地業，寬五千肘，長二萬五千肘，挨著那分聖供地，要歸以色列全家。
45:7 歸王之地要在聖供地和屬城之地的兩旁，就是聖供地和屬城之地的旁邊，西至西頭，東至東頭，從西到東，其長與每支派的分一樣。
45:8 這地在以色列中必歸王為業。我所立的王必不再欺壓我的民，卻要按支派將地分給以色列家。
1 "When you allot the land as an
inheritance, you shall set apart for the Lord a portion of the land as a holy
district, 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits broad. It shall be holy
throughout its whole extent. 2 Of this a square plot of 500 by 500 cubits shall
be for the sanctuary, with fifty cubits for an open space around it. 3 And from
this measured district you shall measure off a section 25,000 cubits long and
10,000 broad, in which shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4 It shall
be the holy portion of the land. It shall be for the priests, who minister in
the sanctuary and approach the Lord to minister to him, and it shall be a place
for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 Another section, 25,000
cubits long and 10,000 cubits broad, shall be for the Levites who minister at
the temple, as their possession for cities to live in.
6 "Alongside the portion set apart as
the holy district you shall assign for the property of the city an area 5,000
cubits broad and 25,000 cubits long. It shall belong to the whole house of
Israel.
7 "And to the prince shall belong the
land on both sides of the holy district and the property of the city, alongside
the holy district and the property of the city, on the west and on the east,
corresponding in length to one of the tribal portions, and extending from the
western to the eastern boundary 8 of the land. It is to be his property in
Israel. And my princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall let the
house of Israel have the land according to their tribes.

先知在這裡預言有一位王要治理歸回的以色列人，這位王必定按公義行事，正如先知所說：「我（上帝）所立的王必不再欺壓我的民，卻要按支派將地分給以色列家。」
就今日而言，我們知道這位王室有所指，就是指耶穌基督！因為基督的職分有君王、祭司與先知，這三重職分集中於一身，祂本是上帝的獨生子，卻取了人身，為了完成上帝的拯救！
因此，我們今日當以感謝的心來領受上帝所預備的救恩，使我們成為上帝家中之一員，成為上帝所立的王——基督的子民！
