| 5. Formal Translation And from outside the city you shall measure: on the east side two thousand cubits, on the south side two thousand cubits, on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; with the city in the midst. This shall be for them the pasturelands of the towns. |
| 5. Dynamic Translation From a point outside the town, mark off two thousand cubits to the east, two thousand to the south, two thousand to the west, and two thousand to the north, keeping the town at the center. This will be their pastureland for the towns. |
