KJV ORIGINAL

All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The entire sacred area should be 25,000 by 25,000 units, basically a perfect square. You'll set apart this holy section along with the city's land as one complete offering.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's vision included a perfectly designed sacred space where everything had its place.
