In the holy area you will measure 25,000 cubits {\cf2\super [428]} long and 10,000 cubits {\cf2\super [429]} wide. The temple will be in this area. The temple area will be the Most Holy Place.
Another area, 25,000 cubits {\cf2\super [430]} long and 10,000 cubits {\cf2\super [431]} wide, will be for the Levites who serve in the temple. This land will also belong to the Levites for their cities to live in.
This special share from this holy part of the land will be especially for these priests. It will be next to the land of the Levites.
The Levites will not sell or trade any of this land. They will not be able to sell any of this land. They must not cut up this part of the country! Why? Because this land belongs to the Lord—it is very special. It is the best part of the land.
Also, the fields and pastures around the Levite cities can’t be sold. Those fields belong to the Levites forever.
Stay in the peaceful house. Eat and drink what the people there give you. A worker should be given his pay. Don’t leave that house to stay in another house.
But be sure that you always share these meals with the Levites. Do this as long as you live in your land.
