Ezekiel 48:10–20

¹⁰This 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. ¹¹It is for the consecrated priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept my charge^a and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray. ¹²It 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.

¹³“Next to the territory of the priests, the Levites will have an area 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles wide. The total length will be 8⅓ miles and the width 3⅓ miles.^{b 14}They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this choice part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.^c

¹⁵“The remaining area, 1⅔ miles^C wide and 8⅓ miles long, will be for common use by the city,^d for both residential and open space. The city will be in the middle of it. ¹⁶These are the city’s measurements:

1½ miles on the north side;

1½ miles on the south side;

1½ miles on the east side;

and 1½ miles on the west side.

¹⁷The city’s open space will extend:

425 feet^E to the north,

425 feet to the south,

425 feet to the east,

and 425 feet to the west.

¹⁸“The remainder of the length alongside the holy donation will be 3⅓ miles to the east and 3⅓ miles to the west. It will run alongside the holy donation. Its produce will be food for the workers of the city. ¹⁹The city’s workers from all the tribes of Israel will cultivate it.^{e 20}The entire donation will be 8⅓ miles by 8⅓ miles; you are to set apart the holy donation along with the city property as a square area.
