Ezekiel 48:8-10
Contemporary English Version
The Special Section of Land
The Lord said:
8 South of Judah's territory will be a special section of land. Its length will be twelve and a half kilometers, and its width will run from the eastern border of Israel west to the Mediterranean Sea. My temple will be located in this section of land.
9 An area in the center of this land will belong to me. It will be twelve and a half kilometers long and ten kilometers[a] wide.
10 I, the Lord, will give half of my sacred land to the priests. Their share will be twelve and a half kilometers long and five kilometers wide, and my temple will be right in the middle.
