Ezekiel 48:8-14
Christian Standard Bible
8 “Next to the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, will be the portion you donate to the Lord, 8⅓ miles[a] wide, and as long as one of the tribal portions from the east side to the west.(A) The sanctuary will be in the middle of it.
9 “The special portion you donate to the Lord will be 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles[b] wide. 10 This holy donation will be set apart for the priests alone. It will be 8⅓ miles long on the northern side, 3⅓ miles wide on the western side, 3⅓ miles wide on the eastern side, and 8⅓ miles long on the southern side. The Lord’s sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 11 It is for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge(B) and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray. 12 It will be a special donation for them out of the holy donation of the land, a most holy place adjacent to the territory of the Levites.
13 “Next to the territory of the priests, the Levites will have an area 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles wide. The total length will be 8⅓ miles and the width 3⅓ miles.(C) 14 They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this choice part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.(D)

Lexham English Bible
8 And next to the territory of Judah, from the eastern border[a] up to the western border,[b] shall be located the contribution that you set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits[c] in width, and its length just like one of the portions from the eastern border[d] up to the western border,[e] and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 9 The contribution that you shall set apart for Yahweh, its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits,[f] and its width ten thousand cubits.[g] 10 And to these shall be the holy district:[h] to the priests northwards twenty-five thousand cubits,[i] and westwards its width ten thousand cubits,[j] and eastwards its width ten thousand cubits,[k] and southwards its length twenty-five thousand cubits,[l] and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in the midst of it. 11 To the priests, the ones being consecrated from the descendants[m] of Zadok, who took care of my service and who did not go astray[n] when the Israelites went astray,[o] just as[p] the Levites went astray. 12 And it will be for them a special gift from the contribution of the land as a most holy object[q] next to the territory of the Levites. 13 And the Levites alongside[r] the territory of the priests shall have twenty-five thousand cubits[s] in length and in width ten thousand cubits,[t] its full length,[u] twenty-five thousand cubits[v] and its full width, ten thousand cubits.[w] 14 And they shall not sell any part from it, and shall not exchange, and shall not transfer the best of the land, for it is holy to Yahweh.
