³⁸ “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this city will be rebuilt^(A) for me from the Tower of Hananel^(B) to the Corner Gate.^{(C) 39} The measuring line^(D) will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah. ⁴⁰ The whole valley^(E) where dead bodies^(F) and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley^(G) on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate,^(H) will be holy^(I) to the Lord. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished.”

¹⁵ “The remaining area, 5,000 cubits^[a] wide and 25,000 cubits long, will be for the common use of the city, for houses and for pastureland. The city will be in the center of it ¹⁶ and will have these measurements: the north side 4,500 cubits,^[b] the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.^{(A) 17} The pastureland for the city will be 250 cubits^[c] on the north, 250 cubits on the south, 250 cubits on the east, and 250 cubits on the west. ¹⁸ What remains of the area, bordering on the sacred portion and running the length of it, will be 10,000 cubits on the east side and 10,000 cubits on the west side. Its produce will supply food for the workers of the city.^{(B) 19} The workers from the city who farm it will come from all the tribes of Israel. ²⁰ The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits on each side. As a special gift you will set aside the sacred portion, along with the property of the city.

²¹ “What remains on both sides of the area formed by the sacred portion and the property of the city will belong to the prince. It will extend eastward from the 25,000 cubits of the sacred portion to the eastern border, and westward from the 25,000 cubits to the western border. Both these areas running the length of the tribal portions will belong to the prince, and the sacred portion with the temple sanctuary will be in the center of them.^{(C) 22} So the property of the Levites and the property of the city will lie in the center of the area that belongs to the prince. The area belonging to the prince will lie between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin.

²⁵ “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild^(A) Jerusalem until the Anointed One,^[a](B) the ruler,^(C) comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.^(D)
