Ezekiel 48:8-14
New English Translation

8 “Next to the border of Judah from the east side to the west side will be the allotment you must set apart. It is to be 8¼ miles[a] wide, and the same length as one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west side; the sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 9 The allotment you set apart to the Lord will be 8¼ miles[b] in length and 3⅓ miles[c] in width. 10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north 8¼ miles[d] in length, toward the west 3⅓ miles[e] in width, toward the east 3⅓ miles[f] in width, and toward the south 8¼ miles[g] in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle. 11 This will be for the priests who are set apart from the descendants of Zadok who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel strayed off, as the Levites did.[h] 12 It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a Most Holy Place, next to the border of the Levites.

13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment 8¼ miles[i] in length and 3⅓ miles[j] in width. The whole length will be 8¼ miles[k] and the width 3⅓ miles.[l] 14 They must not sell or exchange any of it; they must not transfer this choice portion of land, for it is set apart[m] to the Lord.

Lexham English Bible

8 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. 9 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.
