Bordering the territory of Judah, from east to west, will be the portion you are to set apart. It will be 25,000 cubits wide, and the length of a tribal portion from east to west. In the center will be the sanctuary.
This portion goes to priests whom the Lord has truly set apart and sanctified by His Spirit, making them fit for His work. The sons of Zadok kept their charge faithfully when Israel went astray; such faithful ministers the Lord notices and will reward.
