From this measured area you will measure a length of eight and a quarter miles and a width of three and one-third miles; in it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place.

It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a most holy place, next to the border of the Levites.
The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment will be three and one-third miles to the east and three and one-third miles toward the west, and it will be beside the holy allotment. Its produce will be for food for the workers of the city.

The holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it.
