15 "The area that remains is one and two thirds miles wide. It is eight and a fourth miles long. It will not be holy. The people in Jerusalem can build houses there. They can use some of it as grasslands. The city will be in the center of it.
16 Each of the four sides of the city will be one and a half miles long.
17 Each of the four sides of the city's grasslands will be 437 and a half feet long.
