40:45 He said to me, “This chamber which faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple, ¹  40:46 and the chamber which faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the descendants of Zadok, from the descendants of Levi, who may approach the Lord to minister to him.”

48:11 This will be for the priests who are set apart from the descendants of Zadok who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel strayed off, like the Levites did. ³

48:10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles ⁵  in length, toward the west three and one-third miles ⁶  in width, toward the east three and one-third miles ⁷  in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles ⁸  in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle.

⁶ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).

⁷ tn Heb “ten thousand cubits” (i.e., 5.25 kilometers).
