9 The special portion you set apart to the LORD shall be 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide.
10 This will be the holy portion for the priests. It will be 25,000 cubits long on the north side, 10,000 cubits wide on the west side, 10,000 cubits wide on the east side, and 25,000 cubits long on the south side. In the center will be the sanctuary of the LORD.

13 Bordering the territory of the priests, the Levites shall have an area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. The whole length will be 25,000 cubits, and the width 10,000 cubits.
14 They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD.
