“And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.”
Alongside the portion set apart as the holy district, you shall assign for the property of the city an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand cubits long; it shall belong to the whole house of Israel'—establishing a section for the city of Jerusalem adjacent to the holy district. The dimensions indicate a substantial urban area. The specification that it belongs to 'the whole house of Israel' indicates communal ownership and governance. This verse designates the city's location.
