⁸ by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be ^(A)the district which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the other portions, from the east side to the west, with the ^(B)sanctuary in the center.

⁹ “The district that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. ¹⁰ To these—to the priests—the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. The sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the center. ^11 (C)It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are sanctified, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, ^(D)as the Levites went astray. ¹² And this district of land that is set apart shall be to them a thing most ^(E)holy by the border of the Levites.

¹³ “Opposite the border of the priests, the ^(F)Levites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand. ^14 (G)And they shall not sell or exchange any of it; they may not alienate this best part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.
