⁸ “And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the ^[a]allotment which you shall ^[b]set apart, twenty-five thousand ^[c]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 allotment that you shall set apart to the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width.

Portion for the Priests

¹⁰ The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the ^(B)priests, toward the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, toward the west ten thousand in width, toward the east ten thousand in width, and toward the south twenty-five thousand 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 ^(C)sons of Zadok, who have ^[d]taken the responsibility I gave them, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the ^(D)Levites went astray. ¹² It shall be an allotment to them from the allotment of the land, a most holy reserve, by the border of the Levites. ¹³ And alongside the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. The entire length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits and the width ten thousand. ¹⁴ Moreover, they ^(E)shall not sell or exchange any of it, or allow this ^[e]choice portion of land to pass to others; for it is holy to the Lord.
