Ezekiel 48:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
The Special Section of Land
8 “The next area of land will be for a special use. This land is south of Judah’s land. This area is 25,000 cubits[a] long from north to south. From east to west, it will be as wide as the land that belongs to the other tribes. The Temple will be in the middle of this section of land. 9 You will dedicate this land to the Lord. It will be 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits[b] wide. 10 This special area of land will be divided among the priests and Levites.
“The priests will get one part of this area. The land will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits[c] wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side, and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. The Lord’s Temple will be in the middle of this area of land.
