Ezekiel 48:15-20
American Standard Version
15 And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in the midst thereof. 16 And these shall be the measures thereof: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred. 17 And the city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. 18 And the residue in the length, answerable unto the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that labor in the city. 19 And they that labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it. 20 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.

Lexham English Bible
15 And the remaining part[a] of five thousand cubits[b] in the width by[c] twenty-five thousand cubits,[d] is unholy;[e] it is for the city as dwelling and as pastureland; and the city will be located in the middle of it.[f] 16 And these shall be its measurements: on its side to the north, four thousand five hundred cubits;[g] and on its side to the south, four thousand five hundred cubits;[h] and on the eastern side,[i] four thousand five hundred cubits;[j] and on the western side,[k] four thousand five hundred cubits.[l] 17 And a pastureland shall be for the city northwards, two hundred and fifty cubits,[m] southwards two hundred and fifty cubits,[n] and eastwards two hundred and fifty cubits,[o] and westwards two hundred and fifty cubits.[p] 18 And the rest in its length alongside[q] the holy district,[r] ten thousand cubits[s] eastwards and ten thousand[t] westwards; and it shall be alongside[u] the holy district[v] and its yield[w] shall be as food for the workers of the city. 19 And the workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel shall cultivate it. 20 All of the contribution, twenty-five thousand by twenty five thousand cubits[x] square, you shall set apart as the holy district[y] along with the property of the city.
