1 “ And in your⁺ allotting the land as an inheritance, you⁺ shall set apart a contribution to YHWH, a holy portion of the land; its length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the width twenty thousand. It is holy in all its borders all around. 2 There shall be from this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, a square plot, around, with fifty cubits open space for it all around. 3 And from this measure, you shall measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a width of ten thousand; and in it will be the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies. 4 It is a holy portion of the land; it is for the priests ministering in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister to YHWH; and it shall be unto them a place for houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 5 And five and twenty thousand long, and ten thousand wide, shall be unto the Levites ministering in the temple, as a possession for them, twenty towns in which to live. 6 And as the possession of the city you⁺ shall give five thousand wide, with a length of five and twenty thousand, adjacent to the portion of the holy portion; it shall be unto all of the house of Israel. 7 And for the prince, on this side and on this side of the portion of the holy area, and of the possession of the city, toward the faces of the portion of the holy area, and toward the faces of the property of the city, from the west side westward, from the east side eastward; and the length is parallel to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border 8 of the land. It will be unto him as a possession in Israel. And My princes will not oppress My people anymore, and the land they will give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
