Israel’s Future Temple Park

45 “When you divide the land for an inheritance, you are to present a Terumah^[a] to the Lord, a consecrated portion of the land 25,000 cubits^[b] long and 20,000^[c] cubits^[d] wide. Everything within this area is to be treated as holy. ² A Holy Place is to be dedicated from this area in the form of a square measuring 500 by 500 cubits,^[e] with a 50 cubit^[f] buffer zone^[g] surrounding it. ³ From this area a measure is to be made 25,000 cubits^[h] long and 10,000 cubits^[i] wide, which is to contain the sanctuary, the holiest of holy objects. ⁴ It is to be a holy portion of the land, set aside^[j] for the priests who serve the sanctuary, who approach the Lord to serve him. It is to be a place for their houses, as well as the Holy Place of the sanctuary. ⁵ An area 25,000 cubits^[k] long by 10,000 cubits wide is to be set aside^[l] for use by the Levite^[m] servants of the Temple, 20 parcels^[n] for their residential properties. ⁶ The land allocation for the city is to be set at 5,000 cubits^[o] wide and 25,000 cubits^[p] long, adjacent to the sanctuary district, reserved for the entire house of Israel.”

⁷ “The Regent Prince is to have a portion^[q] on both sides of the consecrated allotment for the sanctuary and the city’s land allotment, adjacent to both on the west^[r] and the east sides, comparable in length to one of the portions from the west^[s] border to the east border.
