Ezekiel 48:8-22
8“And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the 1allotment which you shall 2set apart, 25,000 3cubits in width, and in length like one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the 4sanctuary shall be in the middle of it. 9The allotment that you shall set apart to the Lord shall be 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width. 10The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the 5priests, 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 6sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the 7Levites 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 8shall not sell or exchange any of it, or alienate this 9choice portion of land; for it is holy to the Lord.
15“The remainder, 5,000 cubits in width and 25,000 10in length, shall be for 11common use for the city, for dwellings and for 12open spaces; and the city shall be in its midst. 16These shall be its measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits, the south side 134,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits. 17The city shall have 14open 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 15alongside 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 16set apart the holy allotment, a 17square, with the 18property of the city.
21“The 19remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy allotment and of the 20property of the city; in front of the 25,000 cubits of the allotment toward the east border and westward in front of the 25,000 toward the west border, alongside the portions, it shall be for the prince. And the holy allotment and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it. 22Exclusive of the 21property of the Levites and the 22property of the city, which are in the middle of that which belongs to the prince, everything between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be for the prince.
