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. 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.

And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. The oblation that ye shall offer unto Jehovah shall be five and twenty thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth. 10 And for these, even for the priests, shall be the holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in the midst thereof. 11 [a]It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, that have kept my charge, that went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 12 And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

13 And answerable unto the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 14 And they shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first-fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy unto Jehovah.
