“The entire *Terumah* 25,000 [measuring rods] by 25,000 [measuring rods] square shall be set aside as a sanctified portion”¹ 48:20. – for the *kohanim,* the Levites – “and the property of the city.” These areas were already discussed, each in its place. “The remaining portion [of the land] shall be for the *Nasi,*² (*Rashi*)*.* [his portion being] on either side of the sanctified portion of the *Terumah* and the property of the city along its width of 25,000 [measuring rods] of the *Terumah* to the eastern and western borders.³ was a square, 25,000 measuring rods by 25,000 measuring rods. It was located in the center of one of the 13 strips of land into which *Eretz Yisrael* will be divided. The portions of land to the east and the west will be granted to the *Nasi.* [The area] on the western border parallel to the portions [allocated to the tribes] shall be for the *Nasi.* The consecrated *Terumah* and the Sanctuary of the House will be in it. The property of the Levites and the property of the city will be in the portion that will be for the *Nasi.*”⁴ 28:21-22.

וְכֵן אָמַר לְמַעְלָה (יחזקאל מה, ז) "וְלַנָּשִׂיא מִזֶּה וּמִזֶּה לִתְרוּמַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְלַאֲחֻזַּת הָעִיר אֶל פְּנֵי תְרוּמַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְאֶל פְּנֵי אֲחֻזַּת הָעִיר מִפְּאַת יָם יָמָּה וּמִפְּאַת קֵדְמָה קָדִימָה וְאֹרֶךְ לְעֻמּוֹת אַחַד הַחֲלָקִים מִגְּבוּל יָם אֶל גְּבוּל קָדִימָה".

**The Third Beis HaMikdash, trans. by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger, Moznaim Pub Corp. 2016:**
The prophet is explaining that the three areas, i.e. the portion of the *kohanim,* the portion of the Levites, and the portion of the city, will fill the 25,000 measuring rod width of the Great *Terumah.* However, the Great *Terumah* runs across the entire width of *Eretz Yisrael* until the sea. Although these three areas filled the width of *Eretz Yisrael*, they did not fill its length, as we wrote at the outset.⁵ What remains on the eastern and western sides of the consecrated *Terumah* will be given to the *Nasi.* Thus, these three portions will be in the middle of the portion allocated to the *Nasi.*
