It will be 8⅓ miles klong on the northern side, 3⅓ miles lwide on the western side, 3⅓ miles mwide on the eastern side, and 8⅓ miles nlong 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 oand 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 plong and 3⅓ miles qwide. The total length will be 8⅓ miles rand the width 3⅓ miles. st14They 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. u
