The whole length shall be 25,000 cubits and the width 10,000 . 14 "Moreover, they ¹³shall not sell or exchange any of it, or alienate this ^hchoice portion of land ; for it is holy to the LORD. 15 "The remainder, 5,000 cubits in width and 25,000 ⁱin length , shall be for ¹⁴common use for the city, for dwellings and for ^jopen spaces ; and the city shall be in its midst. 16 "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 "The city shall have ^kopen spaces : on the north 250 cubits, on the south 250 cubits, on the east 250 cubits, and on the west 250 cubits. 18 "The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment shall be 10,000 cubits toward the east and 10,000 toward the west ; and it shall be ^lalongside the holy allotment. 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 allotment shall be 25,000 by 25,000 cubits; you shall ^mset apart the holy allotment, a ⁿsquare, with the ^oproperty of the city.

21 "The ¹⁵remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy allotment and of the ^pproperty of the city ; in front of the 25,000 cubits of the allotment 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 allotment and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it. 22 "Exclusive of the ^qproperty of the Levites and the ^rproperty of the city, 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.
