14 The Levites will not sell or trade any of this land. They will not be able to sell any of it. They must not cut up this part of the country, because this land belongs to the Lord—it is very special. It is the best part of the land.
The Shares for the City Property
15 “There will be an area of land 5000 cubits[a] wide by 25,000 cubits long that is left over from the land given to the priests and Levites.
