Yehezkiel 45:2-7

45:2 Of this area a square 875 feet ¹  by 875 feet will be designated for the sanctuary, with 87½ feet ²  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 ³  and a width of three and one-third miles; ⁴  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. ⁵  45:5 An area eight and a quarter miles ⁶  in length and three and one-third miles ⁷  in width will be for the Levites, who minister at the temple, as the place for the cities ⁸  in which they will live.

45:6 “‘Alongside the portion set apart as the holy allotment, you will allot for the city an area one and two-thirds miles ⁹  wide and eight and a quarter miles ¹⁰  long; it will be for the whole house of Israel.

45:7 “‘For the prince there will be land on both sides of the holy allotment and the allotted city, alongside the holy allotment and the allotted city, on the west side and on the east side; it will be comparable in length to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border

Yehezkiel 48:8-23

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 ¹¹  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 ¹²  in length and three and one-third miles ¹³  in width. 48:10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles ¹⁴  in length, toward the west three and one-third miles ¹⁵  in width, toward the east three and one-third miles ¹⁶  in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles ¹⁷  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. ¹⁸  48:12 It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a most holy place, next to the border of the Levites.

48:13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment eight and a quarter miles ¹⁹  in length and three and one-third miles ²⁰  in width. The whole length will be eight and a quarter miles ²¹  and the width three and one-third miles. ²²  48:14 They must not sell or exchange any of it; they must not transfer this choice portion of land, for it is set apart ²³  to the Lord.

48:15 “The remainder, one and two-thirds miles ²⁴  in width and eight and a quarter miles ²⁵  in length, will be for common use by the city, for houses and for open space. The city will be in the middle of it; 48:16 these will be its measurements: The north side will be one and one-half miles, ²⁶  the south side one and one-half miles, the east side one and one-half miles, and the west side one and one-half miles. 48:17 The city will have open spaces: On the north there will be 437½ feet, ²⁷  on the south 437½ feet, on the east 437½ feet, and on the west 437½ feet. 48:18 The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment will be three and one-third miles ²⁸  to the east and three and one-third miles toward the west, and it will be beside the holy allotment. Its produce will be for food for the workers of the city. 48:19 The workers of the city from all the tribes of Israel will cultivate it. 48:20 The whole allotment will be eight and a quarter miles ²⁹  square, you must set apart the holy allotment with the possession of the city.

48:21 “The rest, on both sides of the holy allotment and the property of the city, will belong to the prince. Extending from the eight and a quarter miles ³⁰  of the holy allotment to the east border, and westward from the eight and a quarter miles ³¹  to the west border, alongside the portions, it will belong to the prince. The holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the middle of it. 48:22 The property of the Levites and of the city will be in the middle of that which belongs to the prince. The portion between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin will be for the prince.

48:23 “As for the rest of the tribes: From the east side to the west side, Benjamin will have one portion.
