11 The consecrated priests, the Zadokites, who fulfilled my service and did not stray with the Israelites as the Levites did,
12 shall have their own tract set apart, next to the territory of the Levites, separate from the most holy tract.
13 The Levites shall have territory corresponding to that of the priests, twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits wide. The whole tract shall be twenty-five thousand cubits long and twenty thousand wide.
14 They may not sell or exchange or transfer any of it, the best part of the land, for it is sacred to the Lord.
15 The remaining section, five thousand cubits long and twenty-five thousand cubits wide, is profane land, assigned to the city for dwellings and pasture. The city is at its center.
16 These are the dimensions of the city: the north side, forty-five hundred cubits; the south side, forty-five hundred cubits; the east side, forty-five hundred cubits; and the west side, forty-five hundred cubits.
17 The pasture land for the city extends north two hundred fifty cubits, south two hundred fifty cubits, east two hundred fifty cubits, and west two hundred fifty cubits.
