Ezekiel 45:1-8

1“Now when you 1divide the land by lot for inheritance, you shall offer 2an 3allotment to the Lord, a 4holy portion of the land; the length shall be a length of twenty-five thousand 56cubits, and the width shall be 7twenty thousand. It shall be holy within its entire surrounding boundary. 2Out of this there shall be for the sanctuary a square encompassing 8five hundred by five hundred cubits, and fifty cubits for its 910open space round about. 3From this 11area you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand cubits and a width of ten thousand cubits; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place. 4It shall be the holy portion of the land; it shall be for the 12priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who 13come near to serve the Lord, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5An area 14twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, and for their possession 15cities in which to live.

6“And you shall give the 16city possession of an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand cubits long, alongside the 17allotment of the holy portion; it shall be for the entire house of Israel.

7“And the 18prince shall have land on either side of the holy 19allotment and the 20property of the city, adjacent to the holy 21allotment and the 22property of the city, on the west side toward the west and on the east side toward the east, and in length comparable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. 8This shall be his land as a possession in Israel; so My princes shall no longer 23oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel 24according to their tribes.”
