12. It shall be an allotment to them, a thing most holy, the allotment of the land by the border of the Levites.
13. Opposite the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand.
14. They shall not sell of it or exchange or alienate this choice portion of the land, for it is holy to the Lord.
15. The five thousand cubits in width that remain and the twenty-five thousand in length shall be for common use for the city, for dwellings and for suburbs. And the city shall be in the midst.
