It will be for the consecrated priests, the descendants of Zadok, who kept My charge and did not go astray as the Levites did when the Israelites went astray.
12 Et erunt eis primitiae de primitiis terrae sanctum sanctorum, iuxta terminum Levitarum.
It will be a special portion for them set apart from the land, a most holy portion adjacent to the territory of the Levites.
13 Sed et Levitis similiter iuxta fines sacerdotum vigintiquinque millia longitudinis, et latitudinis decem millia. Omnis longitudo viginti et quinque millium, et latitudo decem millium.
Bordering the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. The whole length will be 25,000 cubits, and the width 10,000 cubits.
14 Et non venundabunt ex eo, neque mutabunt, neque transferentur primitiae terrae, quia sanctificatae sunt Domino.
They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD.
15 Quinque millia autem quae supersunt in latitudine per vigintiquinque millia, profana erunt urbis in habitaculum, et in suburbana: et erit civitas in medio eius.
The remaining area, 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, for houses, and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it
16 Et hae mensurae eius: ad plagam Septentrionalem quingenta et quattuor millia: et ad plagam Meridianam, quingenta et quattuor millia: et ad plagam Orientalem, quingenta et quattuor millia: et ad plagam Occidentalem, quingenta et quattuor millia.
and will have these measurements: 4,500 cubits on the north side, 4,500 cubits on the south side, 4,500 cubits on the east side, and 4,500 cubits on the west side.
17 Erunt autem suburbana civitatis ad Aquilonem ducenta quinquaginta, et ad Meridiem ducenta quinquaginta, et ad Orientem ducenta quinquaginta, et ad Mare ducenta quinquaginta.
The pastureland of the city will extend 250 cubits to the north, 250 cubits to the south, 250 cubits to the east, and 250 cubits to the west.
18 Quod autem reliquum fuerit in longitudine secundum primitias sanctuarii, decem millia in Orientem, et decem millia in Occidentem, erunt sicut primitiae sanctuarii: et erunt fruges eius in panes his, qui serviunt civitati.
The remainder of the length bordering the holy portion and running adjacent to it will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.
19 Servientes autem civitati, operabuntur ex omnibus tribubus Israel.
The workers of the city who cultivate it will come from all the tribes of Israel.
20 Omnes primitiae, vigintiquinque millium, per vigintiquinque millia in quadrum, separabuntur in primitias sanctuarii, et in possessionem civitatis.
The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits by 25,000 cubits. You are to set apart the holy portion, along with the city property.
21 Quod autem reliquum fuerit, principis erit ex omni parte primitiarum sanctuarii, et possessionis civitatis e regione vigintiquinque millium primitiarum usque ad terminum Orientalem: sed et ad Mare e regione vigintiquinque millium usque ad terminum maris, similiter in partibus principis erit: et erunt primitiae sanctuarii, et sanctuarium templi in medio eius.
The remaining area on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city will belong to the prince. He will own the land adjacent to the tribal portions, extending eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the holy district toward the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. And in the center of them will be the holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple.
22 De possessione autem Levitarum, et de possessione civitatis in medio partium principis: erit in terminum Iuda, et in terminum Beniamin, et ad principem pertinebit.
So the Levitical property and the city property will lie in the center of the area belonging to the prince—the area between the borders of Judah and Benjamin.
23 Et reliquis tribubus: A plaga Orientali usque ad plagam Occidentalem, Beniamin una.

29 Haec est terra, quam mittetis in sortem tribubus Israel: et hae partitiones earum, ait Dominus Deus.
This is the land you are to allot as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these will be their portions,” declares the Lord GOD.
30 Et hi egressus civitatis: A plaga Septentrionali quingentos et quattuor millia mensurabis.
“These will be the exits of the city: Beginning on the north side, which will be 4,500 cubits long,
