Ezekiel 40:3-5
New King James Version
3 He took me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was (A)like the appearance of bronze. (B)He had a line of flax (C)and a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gateway.
4 And the man said to me, (D)“Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and [a]fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. (E)Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.” 5 Now there was (F)a wall all around the outside of the [b]temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six [c]cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.
