48:1 眾支派按名所得之地記在下面：從北頭，由希特倫往哈馬口，到大馬士革地界上的哈薩‧以難。北邊靠著哈馬地（各支派的地都有東西的邊界），是但的一分。
48:2 挨著但的地界，從東到西，是亞設的一分。
48:3 挨著亞設的地界，從東到西，是拿弗他利的一分。
48:4 挨著拿弗他利的地界，從東到西，是瑪拿西的一分。
48:5 挨著瑪拿西的地界，從東到西，是以法蓮的一分。
48:6 挨著以法蓮的地界，從東到西，是流便的一分。
48:7 挨著流便的地界，從東到西，是猶大的一分。
48:8 挨著猶大的地界，從東到西，必有你們所當獻的供地，寬二萬五千肘。從東界到西界，長短與各分之地相同，聖地當在其中。
48:9 你們獻與耶和華的供地要長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘。
48:10 這聖供地要歸與祭司，北長二萬五千肘，西寬一萬肘，東寬一萬肘，南長二萬五千肘。耶和華的聖地當在其中。
48:11 這地要歸與撒督的子孫中成為聖的祭司，就是那守我所吩咐的。當以色列人走迷的時候，他們不像那些利未人走迷了。
48:12 這要歸與他們為供地，是全地中至聖的。供地挨著利未人的地界。
48:13 利未人所得的地要長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘，與祭司的地界相等，都長二萬五千肘，寬一萬肘。
48:14 這地不可賣，不可換，初熟之物也不可歸與別人，因為是歸耶和華為聖的。
1 "These are the names of the
tribes:Beginning at the northern extreme, beside the way of Hethlon to Lebo-
hamath, as far as Hazar- enan (which is on the northern border of Damascus over
against Hamath), and extending from the east side to the west, Dan, one
portion. 2 Adjoining the territory of Dan, from the east side to the west,
Asher, one portion. 3 Adjoining the territory of Asher, from the east side to
the west, Naphtali, one portion. 4 Adjoining the territory of Naphtali, from
the east side to the west, Manasseh, one portion. 5 Adjoining the territory of
Manasseh, from the east side to the west, Ephraim, one portion. 6 Adjoining the
territory of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, Reuben, one portion. 7
Adjoining the territory of Reuben, from the east side to the west, Judah, one
portion.
8 "Adjoining the territory of Judah,
from the east side to the west, shall be the portion which you shall set apart,
25,000 cubits in breadth, and in length equal to one of the tribal portions,
from the east side to the west, with the sanctuary in the midst of it. 9 The
portion that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be 25,000 cubits in length,
and 20,000 in breadth. 10 These shall be the allotments of the holy portion:the
priests shall have an allotment measuring 25,000 cubits on the northern side,
10,000 cubits in breadth on the western side, 10,000 in breadth on the eastern
side, and 25,000 in length on the southern side, with the sanctuary of the Lord
in the midst of it. 11 This shall be for the consecrated priests, the sons of
Zadok, who kept my charge, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went
astray, as the Levites did. 12 And it shall belong to them as a special portion
from the holy portion of the land, a most holy place, adjoining the territory
of the Levites. 13 And alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites
shall have an allotment 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in breadth. The
whole length shall be 25,000 cubits and the breadth 20,000. 14 They shall not
sell or exchange any of it. They shall not alienate this choice portion of the
land, for it is holy to the Lord.

上帝在此定規個支派的地之外，更要求有一個歸耶和華為聖的地方，供給利未支派使用，而且切切的聲明：「這地不可賣，不可換，初熟之物也不可歸與別人，因為是歸耶和華為聖的。」
這也讓我們想到，雖然萬物都是屬於上帝的，我們可以擁有也可以享用。但是上帝更要求我們必須有一個空間是屬於祂與我們的空間，是別的事物無法取代或介入的地方，這更是我們敬畏祂的表現！
因此，我們不僅要有個人的與主單獨相會的時間，更要有群體性與主相會時間，聖要將這些空間當成神聖不可侵入的時間和空間，讓上帝確實臨在我們的生命之中，讓我們從心得力，更讓我們的生命為主所更新，成為真正帶著主的榮光的人，如同摩西與主相會四時晝夜之後，臉上有上帝的榮光！
