8 “Next to the territory of Judah, from the east side to the west, will be the portion you donate to the Lord, 8⅓ miles* wide, and as long as one of the tribal portions from the east side to the west.m The sanctuary will be in the middle of it.

9 “The special portion you donate to the Lord will be 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles* wide. 10 This holy donation will be set apart for the priests alone. It will be 8⅓ miles long on the northern side, 3⅓ miles wide on the western side, 3⅓ miles wide on the eastern side, and 8⅓ miles long on the southern side. The Lord’s sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 11 It is for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept my chargea and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray. 12 It will be a special donation for them out of the holy donation of the land, a most holy place adjacent to the territory of the Levites.
