Ver. 33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures, &c.] The south side of the city measured just the same as the north and east sides did: and three gates; were on that side, as on the others: one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun; at which these tribes entered, or those they represent.
31
there will be three gates, each one named after a tribe of Israel. The first will be named for Reuben, the second for Judah, and the third for Levi.
32
On the east wall, also 1 miles long, the gates will be named for Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan.
33
The south wall, also 1 miles long, will have gates named for Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun.
34
And on the west wall, also 1 miles long, the gates will be named for Gad, Asher, and Naphtali.
35
“The distance around the entire city will be 6 miles. And from that day the name of the city will be ‘The LORD Is There.’ ”
