In the twenty fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month - that is, the fourteenth year, after that the city was smitten down - the same day came the hand of the LORD upon me, and carried me forth:

One Sicle maketh twenty Gerahs. So twenty Sicles, and twenty five and fifteen Sicles make a Mina.

In the twenty seventh year, the first day of the first Month, came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,

As for the Sanctuary, it shall stand for itself: and to the Levites that serve in the house, there shall be given twenty habitations, of the twenty five thousand length and ten thousand breadth.

Which separated holy portion shall belong unto these: namely to the priests, toward the north twenty five thousand and toward the west ten thousand broad, toward the east ten thousand broad also, and toward south twenty five thousand long, wherein the Sanctuary of the LORD shall stand.

And next unto the priests, shall the Levites have twenty five thousand long, and ten thousand broad. This shall be on every side twenty five thousand long, and ten thousand broad.

All that is separated of the twenty five thousand long and twenty five thousand broad on the four parts, that shall ye put aside for the separated portion of the Sanctuary, and for the possession of the city.

The residue upon both the sides of the Sanctuary and possession of the city, shall belong to the prince, before the place of the twenty five thousand unto the east end, and before the place of the twenty five thousand westward, unto the borders of the city: this shall be the prince's portion. This shall be the holy place, and the house of the Sanctuary shall stand in the midst.
