Ezekiel 45:2

The Holy District

1 “Moreover, when you ^adivide the land by lot into inheritance, you shall ^bset apart a district for the Lord, a holy section of the land; its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand. It shall be holy throughout its territory all around.

2 Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary, ^afive hundred by five hundred rods, with fifty cubits around it for an open space.

3 So this is the district you shall measure: twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide; ^ain it shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.

4 It shall be ^aa holy section of the land, belonging to the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to the Lord; it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.

5 ^aAn area twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide shall belong to the Levites, the ministers of the temple; they shall have ^btwenty chambers as a possession.

Properties of the City and the Prince

6 ^a“You shall appoint as the property of the city an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, adjacent to the district of the holy section; it shall belong to the whole house of Israel.
