Ezekiel 45:1-7

Ezekiel 45:1-7 TPT

“When you apportion the land as an inheritance to each tribe, you must set aside a sacred portion for YAHWEH. It is to be 25,000 cubits long and 20,000 cubits wide. The entire area of this land will be sacred. And inside this area, a square plot of land 500 cubits by 500 cubits must be set apart for the temple compound. All around the temple compound there will be a strip of open land that is 50 cubits wide on each side. Within this sacred portion you must mark off an area that is 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. This is the area set apart for the temple, the Holy of Holies. “This dedicated part of the land will be for the priests who minister before YAHWEH in his sanctuary. It will be for the priests’ houses and for the holy precincts of the temple. The other half of the area, a section 25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide, will be owned by the Levites who minister at the temple, with towns for them to live in. You must assign an area 25,000 cubits long by 5,000 cubits wide, adjacent to the land belonging to my sanctuary. This will belong to all the people of Israel.” “The prince will have land on both sides of the holy area and the city. West of the holy area and the city, his land will reach to the Mediterranean Sea. East of the holy area and the city, his land will reach to the eastern border of the country. It will correspond in length to the land given to each tribe.
