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.

New Living Translation
15 “An additional strip of land 8 1⁄3 miles long by 1 2⁄3 miles wide,[a] south of the sacred Temple area, will be allotted for public use—homes, pasturelands, and common lands, with a city at the center. 16 The city will measure 1 1⁄2 miles[b] on each side—north, south, east, and west. 17 Open lands will surround the city for 150 yards[c] in every direction. 18 Outside the city there will be a farming area that stretches 3 1⁄3 miles to the east and 3 1⁄3 miles to the west[d] along the border of the sacred area. This farmland will produce food for the people working in the city. 19 Those who come from the various tribes to work in the city may farm it. 20 This entire area—including the sacred lands and the city—is a square that measures 8 1⁄3 miles[e] on each side.
