“And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.”
For the prince there shall be land on both sides of the holy district and the property of the city, alongside the holy district and the property of the city, on the west and on the east; corresponding in length to one of the tribal portions, and in width corresponding to one of them—allocating land to the prince flanking the holy district on both east and west. The prince's possession of land on both sides emphasizes his status and wealth. The equivalence to tribal portions suggests the prince is one of the major landholders. This verse designates the prince's land.
