9. An area in the centre of this land will belong to me. It will be twelve and a half kilometres long and ten kilometres wide.
10. I, the Lord, will give half of my sacred land to the priests. Their share will be twelve and a half kilometres long and five kilometres wide, and my temple will be right in the middle.
