From this holy portion,[a] you will measure off an area 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles[b] wide, in which the sanctuary, the most holy place,(A) will stand.[c] It will be a holy area of the land to be used by the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who approach to serve the Lord.(B) It will be a place for their houses, as well as a holy area for the sanctuary. There will be another area 8⅓ miles long and 3⅓ miles wide for the Levites who minister in the temple;(C) it will be their possession for towns to live in.[d]
