and by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side is the heave-offering that ye lift up, five and twenty thousand broad and long, as one of the parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary hath been in its midst.

9 T he portion of land that you shall set apart and offer to the Lord shall be 25, 000 in length and 10, 000 in breadth.

11 T he set-apart and sacred portion shall be for the consecrated priests of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge and who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the other Levites did.

For the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who erred not in the erring of the sons of Israel, as the Levites erred,

12 A nd this land offering shall be for the priests as a thing most holy beside the border of the Levites.

13 A nd opposite the border of the priests the Levites shall have 25, 000 in length and 10, 000 in breadth. The whole length shall be 25, 000 and the breadth 10, 000.

`And the Levites over-against the border of the priests five and twenty thousand length, and breadth ten thousand, all the length five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 A nd they shall not sell any of it or exchange it; they shall not convey or transfer this the firstfruits of the land, for it has been offered to the Lord and is holy to Him.

And they do not sell of it, nor exchange, nor cause to pass away the first-fruit of the land: for holy to Jehovah.

19 A nd the workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel shall till the open land.

21 A nd what is left unallotted, on both sides of the holy portion and of that possessed by the city, shall belong to the prince. Reaching eastward from the 25, 000 of the holy portion to the east border, and westward from the 25, 000 to the west border, parallel to the tribal allotments, it belongs to the prince. The holy portion with the sanctuary of the temple in its midst,

`And the residue for the prince, on this side and on that side of the heave-offering of the holy, and of the possession of the city, on the front of the five and twenty thousand of the heave-offering unto the east border, and westward, on the front of the five and twenty thousand on the west border, over-against the portions of the prince; and the heave-offering of the holy, and the sanctuary of the house, hath been in its midst.

22 A nd the possession of the Levites and the property of the city shall be in the midst of that which belongs to the prince. What lies between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be for the prince.

And from the possession of the Levites, from the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is to the prince, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, there is to the prince.

29 T his is the land which you shall divide by allotment among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord God.

This the land that ye separate by inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these their portions -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

`And these the outgoings of the city on the north side, five hundred, and four thousand measures.

Round about eighteen thousand, and the renown of the city from the day Jehovah there.'
