by the border of Judah from the east side to the west side shall be the allotment which you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits[a] in width and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side to the west side. And the sanctuary shall be in the middle of it.

The allotment that you shall set apart to the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length, and ten thousand[b] in width. 10 For them, even for the priests, shall be this holy allotment, toward the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length and toward the west ten thousand in width and toward the east ten thousand in width and toward the south twenty-five thousand cubits in length. And the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in its midst. 11 It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the Levites went astray. 12 It shall be an allotment to them, a thing most holy, the allotment of the land by the border of the Levites.

13 Opposite the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand. 14 They shall not sell of it or exchange or alienate this choice portion of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.

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. 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.
