Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred {in length}, with five hundred {in breadth}, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof. {suburbs: or, void places}

And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary {and} the most holy {place}.

The holy {portion} of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.

And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.

And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy {portion}: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
