The land shall be his possession in Israel; and (B)My princes shall no more oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel, according to their tribes.”

It shall be the holy district, (B)and the sanctuary of the [a]temple shall be in the center. 22 Moreover, apart from the possession of the Levites and the possession of the city which are in the midst of what belongs to the prince, the area between the border of Judah and the border of (C)Benjamin shall belong to the prince.
