48:8. And by the border of Juda, from the east side even to the side of

from the east side to the side of the sea: and the sanctuary shall be in
the midst thereof.
48:9. The firstfruits which you shall set apart for the Lord will be the
length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand.
48:10. And these shall be the firstfruits of the sanctuary for the
priests: toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward
the sea ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east also ten thousand
in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and
the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof.
48:11. The sanctuary shall be for the priests of the sons of Sadoc, who
kept my ceremonies, and went not astray when the children of Israel went

land holy of holies, by the border of the Levites,

priests five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city for
dwelling, and for suburbs and the city shall be in the midst thereof.

thousand and five hundred: and on the south side four thousand and five
hundred: and on the east side four thousand and five hundred: and on the
west side four thousand and five hundred.

fifty, and the south two hundred and fifty, and to the east two hundred
and fifty, and to the sea two hundred and fifty.

ten thousand toward the east, and ten thousand toward the west, shall be
as the firstfruits of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for
bread to them that serve the city.

tribes of Israel.
