Ezekiel 48:10–20

Portion for the Priests

¹⁰“The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the ^apriests, toward the north 25,000 cubits in length, toward the west 10,000 in width, toward the east 10,000 in width, and toward the south 25,000 in length; and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in its midst.

¹¹“It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the ^asons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the ^bLevites went astray.

¹²“It shall be an allotment to them from the allotment of the land, a most holy place, by the border of the Levites.

¹³“Alongside the border of the priests the Levites shall have 25,000 cubits in length and 10,000 in width. The whole length shall be 25,000 cubits and the width 10,000.

¹⁴“Moreover, they ^ashall not sell or exchange any of it, or alienate this ¹choice portion of land; for it is holy to the Lord.

¹⁵“The remainder, 5,000 cubits in width and 25,000 ¹in length, shall be for ^acommon use for the city, for dwellings and for ²open spaces; and the city shall be in its midst.

¹⁶“These shall be its measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits, the south side ^a4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.

¹⁷“The city shall have ¹open spaces: on the north 250 cubits, on the south 250 cubits, on the east 250 cubits, and on the west 250 cubits.

¹⁸“The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment shall be 10,000 cubits toward the east and 10,000 toward the west; and it shall be ¹alongside the holy allotment. And its produce shall be food for the workers of the city.

¹⁹“The workers of the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

²⁰“The whole allotment shall be 25,000 by 25,000 cubits; you shall ¹set apart the holy allotment, a ²square, with the ³property of the city.
