Ezekiel 48:8-20 - The Special Section In The Center Of The Land

⁸ And next to the border of Judah, from the east side unto the side of the sea, shall be the lot which ye shall set apart of twenty-five thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other portions; that is, from the east side unto the side of the sea: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

⁹ The lot that ye shall separate unto the LORD shall be of twenty-five thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. ¹⁰ And from there shall be the holy lot of the priests; toward the north twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof. ¹¹ The priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, which have kept my charge, which did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. ¹² They shall receive by lot, separated in the dividing of the land, the most holy part, next to the border of the Levites.

¹³ And the portion of the Levites, shall be in front the border of the priests, of twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and of ten thousand in breadth; all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. ¹⁴ They shall not sell of it, neither exchange nor transpose the firstfruits of the land; for it is consecrated unto the LORD.

¹⁵ And the five thousand reeds, that are left in the breadth over against the twenty-five thousand, shall be profane, for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof. ¹⁶ And these shall be the measures thereof: the north side four thousand five hundred reeds, and the south side four thousand five hundred, and on the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred.

¹⁷ And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty reeds, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.

¹⁸ And the residue in length over against the lot of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: which shall be what is left of the lot of the holy portion; it shall be for food unto those that serve the city. ¹⁹ And those that serve the city shall be from all the tribes of Israel. ²⁰ All the lot of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand square: ye shall separate by lot for the sanctuary and for the possession of the city.
