“The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the Lord: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.”
It shall be the holy portion of the land; it shall belong to the priests who minister in the sanctuary, who come near to minister to the Lord; and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary'—designating the northern portion of the holy district as priestly land providing both housing and sacred space. The dual function (housing and sanctuary) indicates that priestly life is integrated with the sacred precinct. This verse designates the priestly portion.
