Consecration of the Land

Consecration of the Land


45“When you divide the land by lot as an inheritance, you are to set aside a portion for the LORD, a holy portion of the land 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide.[fn] This entire tract of land will be holy.


2Within this area there is to be a section for the sanctuary 500 cubits square,[fn] with 50 cubits [fn] around it for open land.


3From this holy portion, you are to measure off a length of 25,000 cubits and a width of 10,000 cubits,[fn] and in it will be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.[fn] 4It will be a holy portion of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister before the LORD. It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary.


5An adjacent area 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide shall belong to the Levites who minister in the temple; it will be their possession for towns in which to live.[fn]


6As the property of the city, you are to set aside an area 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long,[fn] adjacent to the holy district. It will belong to the whole house of Israel.
