“Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.”
Of this a square plot of five hundred cubits shall be for the sanctuary, surrounded by fifty cubits of open space on all sides—establishing the inner sanctuary's position within the holy district and requiring buffer space around it. The square shape emphasizes perfection and order. The fifty-cubit buffer creates separation between the sanctuary and other uses. This verse specifies the sanctuary's placement within the holy district.
