And its increase shall be for food to those who serve the city. 19Those who serve the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. 20All the allotment shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand cubits. You shall set apart the holy allotment foursquare, with the property of the city.

And the holy allotment and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in its midst. 22Moreover excluding the property of the Levites and the property of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, everything between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall be for the prince.
