Ezekiel 40:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen attentively, and pay close attention to all that I will show you. That is the reason why you were brought here. Report to the house of Israel everything that you see.”

⁵ Then I beheld an outer wall that surrounded the temple on all sides. The length of the measuring rod that the man was holding was six cubits long, each cubit^[a] being a cubit and a handbreadth in length. He measured the thickness and the height of the wall; each was one rod.

The East Gate. ⁶ Then he went to the gate which faced eastward, mounted its steps, and measured the gate’s threshold; it was one rod deep.
