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.
