Ezekiel 48:8-14
New English Translation

8 “Next to the border of Judah from the east side to the west side will be the allotment you must set apart. It is to be 8¼ miles[a] wide, and the same length as one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west side; the sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 9 The allotment you set apart to the Lord will be 8¼ miles[b] in length and 3⅓ miles[c] in width. 10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north 8¼ miles[d] in length, toward the west 3⅓ miles[e] in width, toward the east 3⅓ miles[f] in width, and toward the south 8¼ miles[g] in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle. 11 This will be for the priests who are set apart from the descendants of Zadok who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel strayed off, as the Levites did.[h] 12 It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a Most Holy Place, next to the border of the Levites.

13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment 8¼ miles[i] in length and 3⅓ miles[j] in width. The whole length will be 8¼ miles[k] and the width 3⅓ miles.[l] 14 They must not sell or exchange any of it; they must not transfer this choice portion of land, for it is set apart[m] to the Lord.

Ezekiel 48:8-14
New International Version

8 “Bordering the territory of Judah from east to west will be the portion you are to present as a special gift. It will be 25,000 cubits[a] wide, and its length from east to west will equal one of the tribal portions; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.(A)

9 “The special portion you are to offer to the Lord will be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits[b] wide.(B) 10 This will be the sacred portion for the priests. It will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. In the center of it will be the sanctuary of the Lord.(C) 11 This will be for the consecrated priests, the Zadokites,(D) who were faithful in serving me(E) and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.(F) 12 It will be a special gift to them from the sacred portion of the land, a most holy portion, bordering the territory of the Levites.

13 “Alongside the territory of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. Its total length will be 25,000 cubits and its width 10,000 cubits.(G) 14 They must not sell or exchange any of it. This is the best of the land and must not pass into other hands, because it is holy to the Lord.(H)
