The Lord's Portion of the Country

45 When the land is divided to give each tribe a share, one part is to be dedicated to the Lord. It is to be 10 miles long by 8 miles[a] wide. The entire area will be holy. In this area there is to be a square plot of land for the Temple, 840 feet on each side, entirely surrounded by an open space 84 feet wide. Half of this area, a section 10 miles by 4 miles, is to be measured off; it will contain the Temple, the holiest place of all.
