it
shall
belong
to
the
prince.
The
holy
portion
with

of
the
temple
shall

midst.
48:22 It
shall
be
separate
from
the

of
the
city,
which
are
in
the
midst
of
that
which
belongs
to
the
prince.
The
portion
of
the
prince
shall
lie

the
territory
of
Judah
and

48:29 This
is
the
land
that
you
shall
allot
as
an
inheritance
among
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
these
are
their
portions,
declares
the
Lord
GOD.
48:30 "These
