1When you divide the land as an inheritance, you are to set apart a portion of the land as a holy offering to the Lord. The length is to be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand cubits. It will be a holy area throughout its entire boundary.
2Out of this, a square plot of five hundred by five hundred cubits will be for the sanctuary, with a fifty-cubit-wide open space surrounding it.
3From this measured area, you are to measure twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand cubits in width. Within it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
4This holy portion of the land will be set aside for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary who draw near to serve the Lord. It will provide them with a place for their houses and a sanctuary for the sanctuary.
5An area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand cubits in width will be for the Levites, who serve in the temple. It will be their possession, including twenty chambers.
6You are to allot a portion for the city, five thousand cubits in width and twenty-five thousand cubits in length, alongside the portion set apart for the holy offering. This will belong to the entire house of Israel.
7The prince will have land on both sides of the holy offering and the property of the city, alongside the areas of the holy offering and the city’s property, stretching westward to the western boundary and eastward to the eastern boundary. It will correspond in length to one of the tribal portions, reaching from the western border to the eastern border.
