* by the border.
   In this division of the Holy Land, a portion is laid out for
   each of the twelve tribes directly across the country, from
   east to west; and deducting the square of 25,000; reeds, or
   nearly fifty miles on each side, between Judah and Benjamin,
   for the priests, Levites, city, and temple, with the
   inheritance of the prince to the east and west, (see on ch.
   45:1,) from 280; miles, the length of the country from north to
   south, there will remain for each tribe a portion of less than
   twenty miles in width, and 150; in length.  This division of
   the land entirely differs from that which was made in the days
   of Joshua, in which the tribes were not only differently
   placed, but confused and inter-mixed; while here distinct lots
   are assigned to each of the twelve tribes, in a regular
   mathematical form.  Literally such a division never took
   place:  it seems to denote the equality of privileges which
   subsists among all the tribes of Believers, of whatever
   nation, and whatever their previous character may have been.
