Ezekiel 45:1-6

Ezekiel 45:1-6 CSB

“When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance,  set aside a donation to the LORD, a holy portion of the land,  8 1/3 miles  long and 6 2/3 miles  wide. This entire region will be holy. In this area there will be a square section  for the sanctuary, 875 by 875 feet,  , with 87 1/2 feet  of open space all around it. From this holy portion,  you will measure off an area 8 1/3 miles long and 3 1/3 miles  wide, in which the sanctuary, the most holy place,  will stand.  It will be a holy area of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who approach to serve the LORD.  It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary. There will be another area 8 1/3 miles long and 3 1/3 miles wide for the Levites who minister in the temple;  it will be their possession for towns to live in.  “As the property of the city, set aside an area 1 2/3 miles  wide and 8 1/3 miles long, adjacent to the holy donation of land.  It will be for the whole house of Israel.
