45 1 Out of the land of promise are there separate four portions, of which the first is given to the Priests and to the Temple, the second to the Levites, the third to the city, the fourth to the prince. 9 An exhortation unto the heads of Israel. 10 Of just weights and measures. 14 Of the firstfruits, etc.

Moreover, when ye shall divide the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the Lord an [a]holy portion of the land, five and twenty thousand reeds long, and ten thousand broad: this shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.

Of this there shall be for the Sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, all square round about, and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.

And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the Sanctuary, and the most holy place.
