All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by
five and twenty thousand
Or, "every oblation" F23; everyone of the oblations; that for the priests and the sanctuary; that for the Levites, and that for the city, its suburbs, and the maintenance of those that served the city; each were a square of five and twenty thousand reeds: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of
the city;
taking in the possession of the city, or what that possessed, the oblation of land for that, and its suburbs, and for produce to support those that served it, should be a foursquare of the above dimensions.
