The special portion
This phrase refers to a designated area set apart for a sacred purpose. In the Hebrew context, the word used here is "terumah," which means an offering or a contribution. This indicates that the land is not just any land but is consecrated and dedicated to God. Historically, this reflects the practice of setting aside offerings for the Lord, emphasizing the importance of dedicating the best and most sacred parts of our lives to God.

that you set apart
The act of setting apart is significant in biblical terms, often denoting sanctification or holiness. The Hebrew root "badal" means to divide or separate, underscoring the intentionality behind this action. This separation is not just physical but spiritual, symbolizing a life set apart for God's purposes. It calls believers to live distinctively, reflecting God's holiness in their daily lives.

to the LORD
This phrase highlights the ultimate recipient of the special portion. The use of "LORD" in all caps in the BSB signifies the divine name YHWH, the covenant name of God. It reminds us of the personal relationship between God and His people, and the covenantal faithfulness that God expects in return. This dedication to the LORD is a reminder of our commitment to Him, acknowledging His sovereignty and lordship over all aspects of life.

will be eight and a quarter miles long
The specific measurement here, translated from the Hebrew "ten thousand cubits," reflects the precision and orderliness of God's plans. It shows that God is a God of order, not chaos, and that He has specific plans and purposes for His people. This measurement also indicates the vastness of the portion, symbolizing the abundance and generosity of God's provision.

and three and a third miles wide
Similarly, this measurement, translated from "five thousand cubits," further emphasizes the detailed nature of God's instructions. It serves as a reminder that God cares about the details of our lives and that His plans are comprehensive. The width of the land signifies the breadth of God's grace and the inclusivity of His kingdom, inviting all to partake in His blessings.

Verses 9-12 refer to the priests' portion proper, setting forth

(1) its dimensions, 25,000 reeds along the north and south boundaries from east to west, and 10,000 reeds from north to south along the east and west sides, so that it should form an oblong or rectangle of 25,000 × 10,000 reeds - 548 square (geographical) miles;

(2) its relation to the sanctuary, which should stand in its midst, in this case should occupy the exact geographical center;

(3) its destination, viz. for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok - better than "that which is sanctified is for the priests," as Ewald and Hitzig propose; . . .
