Ezekiel 48:15

The Common Portion

14They must not sell or exchange any of it, and they must not transfer this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD. 15The remaining area, 5,000 cubits wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for common use by the city, for houses, and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it 16and will have these measurements: 4,500 cubits on the north side, 4,500 cubits on the south side, 4,500 cubits on the east side, and 4,500 cubits on the west side.
