"And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the ^(F1)allotment which you shall ^(F2)set apart, twenty-five thousand ^(F3)cubits in width, and in length like one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the ^(C1)sanctuary shall be in the middle of it.

"The allotment that you shall set apart to the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width.

"The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the ^(C1)priests, toward the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, toward the west ten thousand in width, toward the east ten thousand in width, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length; and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in its midst.

"It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the ^(C1)sons of Zadok, who have ^(F1)taken the responsibility I gave them, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the ^(C2)Levites went astray.

"It shall be an allotment to them from the allotment of the land, a most holy reserve, by the border of the Levites.

"And alongside the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. The entire length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits and the width ten thousand.

"Moreover, they ^(C1)shall not sell or exchange any of it, or allow this ^(F1)choice portion of land to pass to others; for it is holy to the LORD.
