Ezekiel 48:10-20
10The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the 1priests, toward the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, toward the west ten thousand in width, toward the east ten thousand in width, and toward the south twenty-five thousand 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 3taken the responsibility I gave them, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the 4Levites went astray. 12It shall be an allotment to them from the allotment of the land, a most holy reserve, by the border of the Levites. 13And alongside the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. The entire length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits and the width ten thousand. 14Moreover, they 5shall not sell or exchange any of it, or allow this 6choice portion of land to pass to others; for it is holy to the Lord.
15“The remainder, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand 7in length, shall be for 8common use for the city, for homes and for 9open spaces; and the city shall be in its midst. 16And these shall be its measurements: the north side, 4,500 cubits, the south side 104,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side, 4,500 cubits. 17The city shall have 11open 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 ten thousand cubits toward the east and ten thousand toward the west; and it shall be 12alongside the holy allotment. And its produce shall be food for the workers of the city. 19And the workers of the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. 20The whole allotment shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand cubits; you shall 13set apart the holy allotment, a 14square, with the 15property of the city.
