Ezekiel 48:8-14

8“And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the 1allotment which you shall 2set apart, twenty-five thousand 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 twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. 10The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the 5priests, 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 6sons of Zadok, who have 7taken the responsibility I gave them, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the 8Levites 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 9shall not sell or exchange any of it, or allow this 10choice portion of land to pass to others; for it is holy to the Lord.
