10. The holy allotment will be apportioned for these—for the kohanim. Toward the north it will be 25,000 cubits and toward the west 10,000 in width, toward the east 10,000 in width and toward the south 25,000 in length. Adonai’s Sanctuary will be in the midst of it.
11. The sanctified portion will be for the kohanim of the sons of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites went astray when Bnei-Yisrael went astray.
12. It will be for them a portion set apart from the offering of the land, most holy, by the border of the Levites.
13. Alongside the border of the kohanim, the Levites will have 25,000 in length and 10,000 in width. The entire length will be 25,000 and the width 10,000.
14. They must not sell or exchange any of it or transfer the choice portion of the land, for it is holy to Adonai.
15. The 5,000 that remain in the width, in front of the 25,000 thousand, will be for common use, for the city, for living and for pastureland. “The city will be in the midst of it,
16. and will have these measurements: the north side; 4,500; the south side 4,500; the east side, 4,500; and the west side, 4,500.
17. The city will have open land: toward the north 250, toward the south 250, toward the east 250, and toward the west 250.
18. The remainder of the length, according to the holy allotment, will be 10,000 eastward and 10,000 westward. It will be alongside the holy allotment. Its produce will be food for those who serve the city.
19. Those who serve the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, will till it.
20. The whole allotment will be 25,o00 by 25,o00, square; you will set apart the holy allotment with the property of the city.
21. “What is remaining from this side and on the other of the holy allotment and the city property will be for the prince. What is adjacent to the 25,000 of the allotment toward the eastern border, and westward adjacent to the 25,000 toward the western border, alongside the portions, will be for the prince. The holy allotment and the Sanctuary of the House will be in the midst of it.
22. The property of the Levites and the property of the city will be in the middle of what belongs to the prince; what belongs to the prince will be between Judah’s border and Benjamin’s border.
23. As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west, will be Benjamin’s one.
24. Next to the territory of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, will be Simeon’s one.
