"The district that you shall set apart for the Lord shall be twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width.
10
To these--to the priests--the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. The sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the center.
11
It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are sanctified, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12
And this district of land that is set apart shall be to them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.

"Opposite the border of the priests, the Levites shall have an area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; its entire length shall be twenty-five thousand and its width ten thousand.

And they shall not sell or exchange any of it; they may not alienate this best part of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.
