Ezekiel 48:10-20

10The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the 1priests, toward the north 25,000 cubits in length, toward the west 10,000 in width, toward the east 10,000 in width, and toward the south 25,000 in length; and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in its midst. 11It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the 2sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the 3Levites went astray. 12It shall be an allotment to them from the allotment of the land, a most holy place, by the border of the Levites. 13Alongside the border of the priests the Levites shall have 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width. The whole length shall be 25,000 cubits and the width 10,000. 14Moreover, they 4shall not sell or exchange any of it, or alienate this 5choice portion of land; for it is holy to the Lord.

15“The remainder, 5,000 cubits in width and 25,000 6in length, shall be for 7common use for the city, for dwellings and for 8open spaces; and the city shall be in its midst. 16These shall be its measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits, the south side 94,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits. 17The city shall have 10open spaces: on the north 250 cubits, on the south 250 cubits, on the east 250 cubits, and on the west 250 cubits. 18The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment shall be 10,000 cubits toward the east and 10,000 toward the west; and it shall be 11alongside the holy allotment. And its produce shall be food for the workers of the city. 19The workers of the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. 20The whole allotment shall be 25,000 by 25,000 cubits; you shall 12set apart the holy allotment, a 13square, with the 14property of the city.
