7Next to the territory of Reuben, from the eastern border to the western border: Judah, one portion.
8Next to the territory of Judah, from the eastern border to the western border, shall be the portion you set apart as a special contribution, 25,000 cubits wide and as long as the portions from east to west; the sanctuary will be in the center of it.
9The special contribution that you shall set apart for the Lord shall measure 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 cubits in width.
10This holy contribution shall be for the priests: 25,000 cubits on the north side, 10,000 cubits in width on the west side, 10,000 cubits in width on the east side, and 25,000 cubits in length on the south side. In its center shall be the sanctuary of the Lord.
11It shall be for the consecrated priests of the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary and did not go astray when the Israelites and the Levites did.
12Their portion shall be the special offering given from the land, a most holy portion, next to the territory of the Levites.
13The Levites shall have a portion parallel to the territory of the priests, measuring 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. Its total length shall be 25,000 cubits, and its width shall be 10,000 cubits.
14This land must not be sold, exchanged, or transferred, for it is holy to the Lord; it is set apart as the firstfruits of the land.
15The remaining area, which is 5,000 cubits in width and 25,000 cubits long, shall be considered common land for the city, for dwelling places, and for open spaces. The city itself shall be in the midst of it.
16These are its measurements: the northern side shall be 4,500 cubits wide, the southern side 4,500 cubits, the eastern side 4,500 cubits, and the western side 4,500 cubits.
17The city's open land shall measure 250 cubits to the north, 250 cubits to the south, 250 cubits to the east, and 250 cubits to the west.
18The remaining area, running along the length of the holy contribution, is 10,000 cubits to the east and 10,000 cubits to the west. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.
