8 And on the end of Judah, from the east coast till to the coast of the sea, shall be the (place of the) first fruits, which ye shall (set) (a)part by five and twenty thousand reeds of breadth and of length [in five and twenty thousand rods of breadth and of length], as all (the other) parts be, from the east coast till to the coast of the sea; and the saintuary shall be in the midst thereof. (And from the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the place of the first fruits, which ye shall set apart by twenty-five thousand cubits in breadth, and its length shall be like all the other parts, from the east side unto the west side; and the sanctuary, or the Temple, shall be in its midst.)
9 The (place of the) first fruits which ye shall (set) (a)part to the Lord, the length shall be in five and twenty thousand, and the breadth in ten thousand. (The place of the first fruits which ye shall set apart for the Lord, the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth shall be ten thousand/and the breadth shall be twenty thousand.)
10 Forsooth these shall be the first fruits of the saintuary of (the) priests; to the north five and twenty thousand of length, and to the sea ten thousand of breadth; but to the east ten thousand of breadth, and to the south five and twenty thousand of length; and the saintuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof.
