13 Opposite the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand.
14 They shall not sell of it or exchange or alienate this choice portion of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.
15 The five thousand cubits in width that remain and the twenty-five thousand in length shall be for common use for the city, for dwellings and for suburbs. And the city shall be in the midst.
16 These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits; and the south side four thousand five hundred cubits; and on the east side four thousand five hundred cubits; and the west side four thousand five hundred cubits.
17 The suburbs of the city shall be: to the north, two hundred and fifty cubits; to the south, two hundred and fifty cubits; to the east, two hundred and fifty cubits; and to the west, two hundred and fifty cubits.
18 The rest in length alongside the holy portion shall be ten thousand cubits eastward and ten thousand westward. And it shall be alongside the holy portion. And its increase shall be for food to those who serve the city.
19 Those who serve the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.
