12 And this district of land that is set apart shall be to them a thing most aholy by the border of the Levites.
13 “Opposite the border of the priests, the aLevites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand.
14 aAnd they shall not sell or exchange any of it; they may not alienate this best part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.
15 a“The five thousand cubits in width that remain, along the edge of the twenty-five thousand, shall be bfor general use by the city, for dwellings and common-land; and the city shall be in the center.
16 These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits, the south side four thousand five hundred, the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred.
17 The common-land of the city shall be: to the north two hundred and fifty cubits, to the south two hundred and fifty, to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty.
18 The rest of the length, alongside the district of the holy section, shall be ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west. It shall be adjacent to the district of the holy section, and its produce shall be food for the workers of the city.
