Ezekiel 48:12 So then they shall have an offering out of the offering of the land, a holy of holies,—toward the boundary of the Levites; Ezekiel 48:13 the Levites, boundary answering to the boundary of the priests, five and twenty thousand in length, and, in breadth, ten thousand,—all the length, five and twenty thousand, and, the breadth, twenty thousand.

Ezekiel 48:18 And, the residue, in length answering to the offering of the holy portion, shall be ten thousand on the east, and ten thousand on the west, so shall it answer to the offering of the holy portion,—and the increase thereof shall be for food, for them who serve the city. Ezekiel 48:19 And they who serve the city, shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. Ezekiel 48:20 All the offering, shall be five and twenty thousand, by five and twenty thousand,—foursquare, shall ye offer up the offering of the holy portion, towards the possession of the city.
of the prince,
Ezekiel 48:21 And, the residue, shall be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the possession of the city, facing the five and twenty thousand of the offering, as far as the east boundary, and, westward, facing the five and twenty thousand by the west boundary, answering to the portions, for the prince,—thus shall it be the holy offering, with, the sanctuary of the house, in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 48:22 And, out of the possession of the Levites, and out of the possession of the city, in the midst of that which is for the prince, shall it be: between the boundary of Judah, and the boundary of Benjamin, for the prince, shall it be.
