Israel’s Future Temple Park
45 “When you divide the land for an inheritance, you are to present a Terumah[a] to the Lord, a consecrated portion of the land 25,000 cubits[b] long and 20,000[c] cubits[d] wide. Everything within this area is to be treated as holy. 2 A Holy Place is to be dedicated from this area in the form of a square measuring 500 by 500 cubits,[e] with a 50 cubit[f] buffer zone[g] surrounding it. 3 From this area a measure is to be made 25,000 cubits[h] long and 10,000 cubits[i] wide, which is to contain the sanctuary, the holiest of holy objects.
