“And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the contribution which you shall contribute, 25,000 [a]cubits in width, and in length like one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the (A)sanctuary shall be in the middle of it. The contribution that you shall contribute to Yahweh shall be [b]25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width. 10 And the holy contribution shall be for these, namely for the (B)priests, toward the north 25,000 cubits in length, toward the west 10,000 in width, toward the east 10,000 in width, and toward the south 25,000 in length; and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in its midst. 11 It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the (C)sons of Zadok, who have kept the responsibility given by Me, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the (D)Levites went astray. 12 And it shall be a contribution to them from the contribution of the land, a Holy of Holies, by the border of the Levites. 13 Now alongside the border of the priests, the Levites shall have 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width. The whole length shall be 25,000 cubits and the width 10,000. 14 Moreover, they (E)shall not sell or exchange any of it, or let this [c]choice portion of land pass over to another; for it is holy to Yahweh.

“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.

“The special portion you donate to the Lord will be 8⅓ miles[b] long and 3⅓ miles[c] wide. 10 This holy donation will be set apart for the priests alone. It will be 8⅓ miles[d] long on the northern side, 3⅓ miles[e] wide on the western side, 3⅓ miles[f] wide on the eastern side, and 8⅓ miles[g] 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.
