And as property of the city, you must set apart alongside the contribution of the sanctuary a portion five thousand cubits[a] in width and twenty-five thousand cubits[b] in length, and it shall be for the entire house of Israel.

And a portion will be for[c] the prince on both sides[d] of the holy district,[e] and both sides of the property of the city, and alongside[f] the property of the city on the west,[g] and alongside the property on the east.[h] And also its length[i] corresponds to one of the tribal portions to the west[j] running to the eastern border.[k] This shall be to him with respect to the land[l] as property in Israel; and so my princes shall not again oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”
