the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand
in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length:
and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in the midst of it.
048:011 [It shall be] for the priests who are sanctified of the sons
of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who didn't go astray when
the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
048:012 It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land,
a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.
048:013 Answerable to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have
twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth:
all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the
breadth ten thousand.
048:014 They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first
fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yahweh.
048:015 The five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front
of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use,
for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city

twenty-five thousand: you shall offer the holy offering four-square,
with the possession of the city.
048:021 The residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on
the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city;
in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward
the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five
thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions,
it shall be for the prince: and the holy offering and
the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst of it.
048:022 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession
