Ezekiel 48:15-20
Lexham English Bible
15 And the remaining part[a] of five thousand cubits[b] in the width by[c] twenty-five thousand cubits,[d] is unholy;[e] it is for the city as dwelling and as pastureland; and the city will be located in the middle of it.[f] 16 And these shall be its measurements: on its side to the north, four thousand five hundred cubits;[g] and on its side to the south, four thousand five hundred cubits;[h] and on the eastern side,[i] four thousand five hundred cubits;[j] and on the western side,[k] four thousand five hundred cubits.[l] 17 And a pastureland shall be for the city northwards, two hundred and fifty cubits,[m] southwards two hundred and fifty cubits,[n] and eastwards two hundred and fifty cubits,[o] and westwards two hundred and fifty cubits.[p] 18 And the rest in its length alongside[q] the holy district,[r] ten thousand cubits[s] eastwards and ten thousand[t] westwards; and it shall be alongside[u] the holy district[v] and its yield[w] shall be as food for the workers of the city. 19 And the workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel shall cultivate it. 20 All of the contribution, twenty-five thousand by twenty five thousand cubits[x] square, you shall set apart as the holy district[y] along with the property of the city.

International Standard Version
15 “The rest, 5,000 units wide and 25,000 units along its front, will serve as a common portion for use by the city for housing and open spaces, since the city is to be in its midst. 16 These are to be its dimensions: the north side, 4,500 units; the south side, 4,500 units; the east side, 4,500 units; and the west side 4,500 units. 17 The city is to have urban areas set aside: on the north 250 units; on the south, 250 units, on the east, 250 units; and on the west, 250 units.
18 “The remainder of the length that borders the holy Terumah is to be 10,000 units long eastward and 10,000 units westward. It is to lie adjacent to the holy Terumah. Its harvest will produce food for those who work in the city. 19 The city workers who cultivate it are to come from all the tribes of Israel. 20 The entire Terumah is to be[a] 25,000 units by 25,000 units—you are to reserve it as a holy Terumah in the form of a square within the city limits.”
