Legacy Standard Bible
8 “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. 9 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.

Revised Standard Version
8 “Adjoining the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the portion which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in breadth, and in length equal to one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west, with the sanctuary in the midst of it. 9 The portion which you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and twenty[a] thousand in breadth. 10 These shall be the allotments of the holy portion: the priests shall have an allotment measuring twenty-five thousand cubits on the northern side, ten thousand cubits in breadth on the western side, ten thousand in breadth on the eastern side, and twenty-five thousand in length on the southern side, with the sanctuary of the Lord in the midst of it. 11 This shall be for the consecrated priests, the sons[b] of Zadok, who kept my charge, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did. 12 And it shall belong to them as a special portion from the holy portion of the land, a most holy place, adjoining the territory of the Levites. 13 And alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an allotment twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in breadth. The whole length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits and the breadth twenty[c] thousand. 14 They shall not sell or exchange any of it; they shall not alienate this choice portion of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.
