From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

This portion is to belong to the whole people, not to be subject to the encroachments made by the later kings of JudahJeremiah 22:13. The Levites’ portion 10,000 reeds, the priests’ portion 10,000 reeds, and the city portion 5,000 reeds. make in all 25,000 reeds from north to south. The measure of each of these portions from east to west has been defined to be 25,000 reeds (Ezekiel 45:1note), and thus we have a square of 25,000 in all.
