These are to be for the Regent Prince. The holy Terumah and the sanctuary of the Temple is to stand in the middle of it. | 21“What remains on both sides of the holy portion and of the property of the city shall belong to the prince. Extending from the 25,000 cubits of the holy portion to the east border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the west border, parallel to the tribal portions, it shall belong to the prince. The holy portion with the sanctuary of the temple shall be in its midst. |
| 22Except for what belongs to the descendants of Levi and the city property, which will stand in the middle of what belongs to the Regent Prince, whatever is between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin is to belong to the Regent Prince." | 22It shall be separate from the property of the Levites and the property of the city, which are in the midst of that which belongs to the prince.
