Ezekiel 48:15-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 “The remaining area, 1⅔ of a mile[a] wide and 8⅓ miles[b] long, will be for common use by the city,(A) for both residential and open space. The city will be in the middle of it. 16 These are the city’s measurements:
1½ miles[c] on the north side;
1½ miles[d] on the south side;
1½ miles[e] on the east side;
and 1½ miles[f] on the west side.
17 The city’s open space will extend:
425 feet[g] to the north,
425 feet[h] to the south,
425 feet[i] to the east,
and 425 feet[j] to the west.
18 “The remainder of the length alongside the holy donation will be 3⅓ miles[k] to the east and 3⅓ miles[l] to the west. It will run alongside the holy donation. Its produce will be food for the workers of the city. 19 The city’s workers from all the tribes of Israel will cultivate it.(B) 20 The entire donation will be 8⅓ miles[m] by 8⅓ miles;[n] you are to set apart the holy donation along with the city property as a square area.

New Living Translation
15 “An additional strip of land 8 1⁄3 miles long by 1 2⁄3 miles wide,[a] south of the sacred Temple area, will be allotted for public use—homes, pasturelands, and common lands, with a city at the center. 16 The city will measure 1 1⁄2 miles[b] on each side—north, south, east, and west. 17 Open lands will surround the city for 150 yards[c] in every direction. 18 Outside the city there will be a farming area that stretches 3 1⁄3 miles to the east and 3 1⁄3 miles to the west[d] along the border of the sacred area. This farmland will produce food for the people working in the city. 19 Those who come from the various tribes to work in the city may farm it. 20 This entire area—including the sacred lands and the city—is a square that measures 8 1⁄3 miles[e] on each side.
