Yehezkiel 45:2-4

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
