Roughly 429 feet (143 yards; 130.7 m)

“pastureland.” The Hebrew can also refer to “open land,” or “open space.” However, although that seems like very little space for pasture, animals could be kept there for a short time if they were going to be offered in the Temple.

“250 cubits.” 250 royal cubits is about 143 yards (130.7 meters).

[For more on the measurements, see commentary on Ezek. 48:8.]
