8 Adjacent to Judah's allocation, from east to west, is the special area you are to make provision for. It is to be 25,000 cubits wide, and extend the same length as a tribal allocation from east to west. The sanctuary will be in the middle of it.

And by the border of Iudah from the East part vnto the West part shall be the offering which they shall offer of fiue and twentie thousande reedes broade, and of length as one of the other parts, from the East side vnto the Westside, and the Sanctuarie shalbe in the middes of it.

11 It is for the holy priests, descendants of Zadok, who stayed faithful and did not abandon me when the Israelites abandoned me.

It shalbe for the Priestes that are sanctified of the sonnes of Zadok, which haue kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Leuites went astray.

12 It will be a special part of the land provided for them, a most holy allocation next to that of the Levites.

Therefore this oblation of the land that is offred, shalbe theirs, as a thing most holy by the border of the Leuites.

13 The Levites shall have an area 25,000 cubits by 10,000 cubits adjacent to the allocation of the priests. Its entire length will be 25,000 cubits, and its width 10,000 cubits.

And ouer against the border of the Priests the Leuites shall haue fiue and twentie thousande long, and ten thousande broade: all the length shalbe fiue and twentie thousand, and the breadth ten thousande.

14 They are not permitted to sell exchange or transfer any of it, for it is the best part of the land and is holy to the Lord.

And they shall not sel of it, neither change it, nor abalienate the first fruites of the land: for it is holy vnto the Lord.

15 The remainder, 5,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits, is for ordinary use by the city for houses and pastureland. The city will be in the middle of it,

18 What remains of the land bordering the holy allocation and running beside it will be 10,000 cubits on both the east side and the west side. The crops it produces will provide food for those who work in the city.

And the residue in length ouer against the oblation of the holy portion shalbe ten thousand Eastwarde, and ten thousand Westwarde: and it shalbe ouer against the oblation of the holy portion, and the encrease thereof shall be for foode vnto them that serue in the citie.

19 These workers who farm the land will be from all the Israelite tribes.

And they that serue in the citie, shalbe of all the tribes of Israel that shall serue therein.

20 The whole allocation will be a square, 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits. You are to make provision for the holy allocation, together with the area for the city.

21 The land that remains on both sides of the holy allocation and of the area for the city will belong to the prince. This land will be next to the tribal allocations and extend east from the 25,000 cubits of the holy section to the eastern border, on the other side west from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. In the middle of them will be the holy section and the Temple sanctuary.

And the residue shalbe for the prince on the one side and on the other of the oblation of the Sanctuarie, and of the possession of the citie, ouer against the fiue and twentie thousand of the oblation toward the East border, and Westward ouer against the fiue and twentie thousande towarde the West border, ouer against shalbe for the portion of the prince: this shall be the holy oblation, and the house of the Sanctuarie shalbe in the middes thereof.

22 The Levites area and the city's area will lie in the middle of the prince's allocation, and will lie between the borders of the allocations of Judah and Benjamin.

Moreouer, from the possession of the Leuites, and from the possession of the citie, that which is in the middes shall be the princes: betweene the border of Iudah, and betweene the border of Beniamin shall be the princes.

23 These are the allocations for the rest of the tribes: Benjamin's allocation extends from the eastern boundary of the country to that on the west.

And the rest of the tribes shalbe thus: from the East parte vnto the West parte Beniamin shalbe a portion.

29 This is the land you are to allocate for the tribes of Israel to own and pass on as an inheritance. These are their assigned allocations, declares the Lord God.

This is the lande, which ye shall distribute vnto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord God.

30 These are to be the city exits, starting on the north side, which is 4,500 cubits long.

And these are the boundes of the citie, on the North side fiue hundreth, and foure thousande measures.
