⁸ Adjoining the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the portion that you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length equal to one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west, with the sanctuary in the middle of it.^{(A) 9} The portion that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and twenty^[a] thousand in width. ¹⁰ These shall be the allotments of the holy portion: the priests shall have an allotment measuring twenty-five thousand cubits on the northern side, ten thousand cubits in width on the western side, ten thousand in width on the eastern side, and twenty-five thousand in length on the southern side, with the sanctuary of the Lord in the middle of it.^{(B) 11} As for the consecrated priests, the descendants^[b] of Zadok who kept my charge, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did,^{(C) 12} they shall have a special portion from the holy portion of the land, a most holy place, adjoining the territory of the Levites.^{(D) 13} Alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an allotment twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. The whole length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits and the width twenty^[c] thousand.^{(E) 14} They shall not sell or exchange any of it; they shall not transfer this choice portion of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.^(F)
