Ezekiel 45:1-4 ▼

1 “When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, set aside a donation to the LORD, a holy portion of the land, 8 1 /3 miles long and 6 2 /3 miles wide. This entire region will be holy.

2 In this area there will be a square section for the sanctuary, 875 by 875 feet, with 87 1 /2 feet of open space all around it.

3 From this holy portion, you will measure off an area 8 1 /3 miles long and 3 1 /3 miles wide, in which the sanctuary, the most holy place, will stand.

4 It will be a holy area of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who approach to serve the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.
