⁸ 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.

⁹ 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.
