"And beside the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the contribution which you shall contribute, 25,000 _cubits_ in width, and in length like one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the middle of it. 

###### 9
The contribution that you shall contribute to Yahweh _shall be_ 25,000 _cubits_ in length and 10,000 in width.

And the holy contribution shall be for these, _namely_ for the priests, toward the north 25,000 _cubits in length_, toward the west 10,000 in width, toward the east 10,000 in width, and toward the south 25,000 in length; and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in its midst. 

###### 11
_It shall be_ for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept the responsibility _given by_ Me, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the Levites went astray. 

###### 12
And it shall be a contribution to them from the contribution of the land, a Holy of Holies, by the border of the Levites. 

###### 13
Now alongside the border of the priests, the Levites _shall have_ 25,000 _cubits_ in length and 10,000 in width. The whole length _shall be_ 25,000 _cubits_ and the width 10,000. 

###### 14
Moreover, they shall not sell or exchange any of it, or let this choice _portion_ of land pass over _to another_; for it is holy to Yahweh. 

###### 15
"And the remainder, 5,000 _cubits_ in width and 25,000 in length, shall be for common use for the city, for _places of_ habitation, and for open spaces; and the city shall be in its midst. 

###### 16
And these _shall be_ its measurements: the north side 4,500 _cubits_, the south side 4,500 _cubits_, the east side 4,500 _cubits_, and the west side 4,500 _cubits_. 

###### 17
And the city shall have open spaces: on the north 250 _cubits_, on the south 250 _cubits_, on the east 250 _cubits_, and on the west 250 _cubits_. 

###### 18
And the remainder of the length alongside the holy contribution shall be 10,000 _cubits_ toward the east and 10,000 toward the west; and it shall be alongside the holy contribution. And its produce shall be food for the workers of the city. 

###### 19
The workers of the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. 

###### 20
The whole contribution _shall be_ 25,000 by 25,000 _cubits_; you shall contribute the holy contribution, a square, with the city's possession _of land_. 

###### 21
"And the remainder _shall be_ for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy contribution and of the city's possession _of land_; in front of the 25,000 _cubits_ of the contribution toward the east border and westward in front of the 25,000 toward the west border, alongside the portions, _it shall be_ for the prince. And the holy contribution and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it. 

###### 22
And apart from the Levites' possession and the city's possession, _which_ are in the middle of that which belongs to the prince, _everything_ between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be for the prince. 

###### 23
"Now as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one _portion_. 

###### 24
And beside the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one _portion_. 

###### 25
And beside the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one _portion_. 

###### 26
And beside the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one _portion_. 

###### 27
And beside the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one _portion_. 

###### 28
And beside the border of Gad, at the south side toward the south, the border shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook _of Egypt_, to the Great Sea. 

###### 29
This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for an inheritance, and these are their _several_ portions," declares Lord Yahweh.
