Bible Comments

The residue in length, which remains on each side of the five thousand cubits square area, will be ten thousand on the east, and ten thousand on the west. Shall be over against the oblation; lie parallel and even with the south side of the Levites portion both on east and west. The increase thereof; the product, revenues of this land. For food; the maintenance, both salary and allowances of bread and wine. Unto them that serve the city; for the city officers, so that they may live by the city, whose life is spent for the city, that the labourer may, as he is worthy of it, receive his wages.
