14 And they shall not sell of it, neither change it, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the Lord.
15 And the five thousand that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for housing, and for suburbs, and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
16 And these shall be the measures thereof, the North part five hundred and four thousand, and the South part [a]five hundred and four thousand, and the East part five hundred and four thousand, and the West part five hundred and four thousand.
