Ezekiel 45:7

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.

And a portion shall be for the prince {H5387} on the one side and on the other side of the oblation {H8641} of the holy {H6944} portion, and of the possession {H272} of the city {H5892}, before {H6440} the oblation {H8641} of the holy {H6944} portion, and before {H6440} the possession {H272} of the city {H5892}, from the west {H3220} side {H6285} westward {H3220}, and from the east {H6924} side {H6285} eastward {H6921}: and the length {H753} shall be over against {H5980} one {H259} of the portions {H2506}, from the west {H3220} border {H1366} unto the east {H6921} border {H1366}.

"'The prince is to have the territory on both sides of the holy offering and the city's holding; it will extend westward to the western border of the land and eastward to its eastern border; and the length [from the far side of one] of its two parts [to the far side of the other] will be the same as the length of one of the [tribal] portions.

Now the prince will have the area bordering each side of the area formed by the holy district and the property of the city, extending westward from the western side and eastward from the eastern side, running lengthwise from the western boundary to the eastern boundary and parallel to one of the tribal portions.

And whatsoever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable unto one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
