KJV ORIGINAL
And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
The rest of the land goes to the prince — it's on both sides of the holy area and the city's territory. It stretches 25,000 cubits east and 25,000 cubits west, right alongside the tribal portions that belong to the prince. This whole holy section has the temple sanctuary right in the center of it all.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
The prince gets his land on both sides of the holy zone, with God's temple sitting right in the heart of everything.
