Kota itu akan mempunyai lahan terbuka: di sebelah utara dua ratus lima puluh, di sebelah selatan dua ratus lima puluh, di sebelah timur dua ratus lima puluh, dan di sebelah barat dua ratus lima puluh.
The Third Beit HaMikdash
“And the open space of the city will be 250 [measuring rods] in the north, 250 [measuring rods] in the south, 250 [measuring rods] in the east, and 250 [measuring rods] in the west.”1Yechezkel 48:17. The additions are taken from Rashi’s commentary. The city itself covers an area of 4500 measuring rods by 5000 measuring rods. With its empty space, the city is a square, 5000 measuring rods by 5000 measuring rods.2For the addition of 250 measuring rods on the east and the west creates a square of 5000 measuring rods. The open space fills the width of the strip of land in which the city is located.
