10Out of this shall be the firstfruits of the holy things to the priests, northward, five and twenty thousand, and toward the west, ten thousand, and southward, five and twenty thousand: and the mountain of the sanctuary, shall be in the midst of it,

11for the priests, for the consecrated sons of Zadok, who keep the charges of the house, who erred not in the error of the children of Israel, as the Levites erred.

— Ezekiel 48:12 —

13And the Levites shall have the part, next to the borders of the priests, in length twenty-five thousand, and in breadth ten thousand: the whole length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth twenty thousand.

14No part of it shall be sold, nor measured as for sale, neither shall the firstfruits of the land be taken away: for they are holy to the Lord.
