And there shall be from this area five hundred cubits[a] by five hundred cubits, squared all around, for the sanctuary; and fifty cubits[b][c] of open space shall be for it all around it. And from this measured area you shall measure a length of twenty-five[d] thousand cubits[e] and a width of ten thousand cubits,[f] and in it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place.[g] It[h] is a holy portion from the land; it will be for the priests, the servants of the sanctuary who approach[i] to serve Yahweh, and it will be for them a place for houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.
