45:1 “‘When you allot the land as an inheritance, you will offer an allotment 1 to the Lord, a holy portion from the land; the length will be eight and a quarter miles 2 and the width three and one-third miles. 3 This entire area will be holy. 4 45:2 Of this area a square 875 feet 5 by 875 feet will be designated for the sanctuary, with 87½ feet 6 set aside for its open space round about. 45:3 From this measured area you will measure a length of eight and a quarter miles 7 and a width of three and one-third miles; 8 in it will be the sanctuary, the most holy place. 45:4 It will be a holy portion of the land; it will be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary who approach the Lord to minister to him. It will be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary. 9
