7 a“The prince shall have a section on one side and the other of the holy district and the city’s property; and bordering on the holy district and the city’s property, extending westward on the west side and eastward on the east side, the length shall be side by side with one of the tribal portions, from the west border to the east border.  
8 The land shall be his possession in Israel; and aMy princes shall no more oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel, according to their tribes.”

10 “You shall have ahonest scales, an honest ephah, and an honest bath.

Ezekiel 45:7

The prince - The king. Our side - One half of the prince's portion lay on the west side of those three already set out. The other side - The other half lay on the east - side thereof, so the portion of the city, Levites and priests, lay in the middle. The holy portion - Of priests, and Levites, and sanctuary. Before - It lay parallel as broad as these three were broad, and so run on both sides in its breadth from north to south, and had its length as the other, from east to west. Over against - What is called now over - against, or by the side, is called before three times together. So now you have an exact square of twenty - five thousand cubits laid out for God, the Levites and city, which appears thus in the breadth.

10000 For the priests.

10000 For the Levites.

5000 For the city.
