Unto the priests, that are sanctified, of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 And it shall be unto them a portion set apart from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.
To them shall thus belong the portion set aside of the oblation of the land as a most holy thing by the boundary of the Levites.

22 Thus the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which is the prince's; between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be the prince's.
And both the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which belongeth to the prince: between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
