48:8 “Next to the border of Judah from the east side to the west will be the allotment you must set apart. It is to be eight and a quarter miles 1 wide, and the same length as one of the tribal portions, from the east side to the west; the sanctuary will be in the middle of it. 48:9 The allotment you set apart to the Lord will be eight and a quarter miles 2 in length and three and one-third miles 3 in width. 48:10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles 4 in length, toward the west three and one-third miles 5 in width, toward the east three and one-third miles 6 in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles 7 in length; the sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle. 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. 8 48:12 It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a most holy place, next to the border of the Levites.
