In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month in the fourteenth year after Jerusalem had been captured, on that very day the Lord’s hand was on me, and He brought me there.

In the twenty-seventh year in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

and the shekel shall be twenty gerahs, - twenty shekels five and twenty shekels and fifteen shekels, the weight shall be to you.

the Levites boundary answering to the boundary of the priests, five and twenty thousand in length and in breadth, ten thousand, - all the length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand.

so he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, at the front of the temple.

And when ye shall by lot divide the land as an inheritance, ye shall offer up as a heave-offering to Yahweh a holy portion out of the land, in length, five and twenty thousand long, and in breadth, twenty thousand, - holy shall it be throughout all the territory thereof round about.

the heave-offering which ye shall offer up to Yahweh shall be in length, five and twenty thousand, and in breadth, twenty thousand.

And pertaining to these, shall he the holy offering, even for the priests, northwards, five and twenty thousand, and westward, a breadth of ten thousand, and eastward, a breadth of ten thousand and south ward, length of five and twenty thousand, - so shall the sanctuary of Yahweh be in the midst thereof: -

All the offering shall be five and twenty thousand, by five and twenty thousand, - foursquare, shall ye offer up the offering of the holy portion, towards the possession of the city.

And the residue shall be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, facing the five and twenty thousand of the offering, as far as the east boundary, and westward, facing the five and twenty thousand by the west boundary, answering to the portions for the prince,- thus shall it be the holy offering, with the sanctuary of the house in the midst thereof.

And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be unto the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto themselves, for twenty chambers.
