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.

8 Adjoining the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the portion that you shall set apart, twenty-five thousand cubits in width, and in length equal to one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west, with the sanctuary in the middle of it.(A) 9 The portion that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and twenty[a] thousand in width. 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 width on the western side, ten thousand in width on the eastern side, and twenty-five thousand in length on the southern side, with the sanctuary of the Lord in the middle of it.(B) 11 As for the consecrated priests, the descendants[b] of Zadok who kept my charge, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did,(C) 12 they shall have a special portion from the holy portion of the land, a most holy place, adjoining the territory of the Levites.(D) 13 Alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an allotment twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. The whole length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits and the width twenty[c] thousand.(E) 14 They shall not sell or exchange any of it; they shall not transfer this choice portion of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.(F)
