7and then Judah, all of whose boundaries extend from east to west. 8“South of Judah is the land set aside for a special purpose. It will be 8-1/3 miles wide and will extend as far east and west as the tribal territories, with the Temple at the center. “The area set aside for the Lord’s Temple will be 8-1/3 miles long and 6-2/3 miles wide. 10For the priests there will be a strip of land measuring 8-1/3 miles long by 3-1/3 miles wide, with the Lord’s Temple at the center. 11This area is set aside for the ordained priests, the descendants of Zadok who served me faithfully and did not go astray with the people of Israel and the rest of the Levites.
