Ezekiel 48:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Central Holy Area
8 South of the boundary of Judah, from the east side to the west side, will be the special contribution you are to devote to special use. Its north-to-south width is twenty-five thousand cubits,[a] and its east-to-west length is equal to one of the tribal portions from the eastern side of the land to the western side.[b] The sanctuary will be in the midst of it.[c]
The Place for the Temple
9 The contribution you are to devote to the Lord is to be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits wide.[d] 10 The holy contribution for the priests will be this: a rectangular area measuring twenty-five thousand cubits long on the north side, ten thousand cubits wide on the west, ten thousand cubits wide on the east, and twenty-five thousand cubits long on the south. The sanctuary of the Lord will be in the middle.
