⁸ “And by the border of Judah, from the east part to the west part, shall be the offering which they shall offer, of twenty-five thousand reeds wide, and of the same length as one of the parts, from the East Side to the West Side. And the Sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

⁹ “The oblation that you shall offer to the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide.

¹⁰ “And this holy oblation for them, for the priests, shall be twenty-five thousand long toward the North and ten thousand wide toward the West and ten thousand wide toward the East and twenty-five thousand long toward the South. And the Sanctuary of the LORD shall be in its midst,

¹¹ for the Priests of the sons of Zadok who are sanctified, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray as the Levites went astray when the children of Israel went astray.

¹² “Therefore, this oblation of the land that is offered shall be theirs, as a thing Most Holy, by the border of the Levites.

¹³ “And alongside the border of the Priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide. The whole length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the width ten thousand.

¹⁴ “And they shall not sell any of it, or change it, or alienate the firstfruits of the land; for it is holy to the LORD.

¹⁵ “And the five thousand that is left in the width, opposite the twenty-five thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for housing, and for suburbs. And the city shall be in its midst.

¹⁶ “And these shall be its measures: the north part five hundred four thousand and the south part five hundred four thousand and the east part five hundred four thousand and the west part five hundred four thousand.

¹⁷ “And the suburbs of the city shall be two hundred fifty toward the North and two hundred fifty toward the South and two hundred fifty toward the East and two hundred fifty toward the West.

¹⁸ “And the rest in length opposite the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward. And it shall be opposite the oblation of the holy portion. And its increase shall be for food to those who serve in the city.

¹⁹ “And those who serve in the city shall be from all the tribes of Israel who shall serve it.

²⁰ “The whole oblation shall be twenty-five thousand and twenty-five thousand. You shall offer this oblation foursquare for the Sanctuary and for the possession of the city.

²¹ “And the rest shall be for the princes on one side and on the other of the oblation of the Sanctuary and of the possession of the city, next to the twenty-five thousand of the oblation toward the east border. And westward, next to the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, next to the portion of the prince, shall be the holy oblation. And the House of the Sanctuary shall be in its midst.

²² “Moreover, from the possession of the Levites and from the possession of the city, that which is in the midst shall be the prince’s. Between the border of Judah and between the border of Benjamin shall be the prince’s.
