Ezekiel 40:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 He spoke to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, listen with your ears,(A) and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for you have been brought here so that I might show it to you. Report everything you see to the house of Israel.”(B)
The Wall and Outer Gates
5 Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple.(C) The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of 21 inches;[a] each unit was the standard length plus three inches.[b] He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was about 10 feet,[c] and its height was the same.[d] 6 Then he came to the gate that faced east and climbed its steps.(D) He measured the threshold of the gate; it was 10 feet deep—the first threshold was 10 feet deep.
