Ezekiel 40:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

The Wall and Outer Gates

⁵ Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple.^(A) The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of twenty-one inches;^[a] each unit was the standard length plus three inches.^[b] He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was 10½ feet,^[c] and its height was the same. ⁶ Then he came to the gate that faced east and climbed its steps.^(B) He measured the threshold of the gate; it was 10½ feet deep—one threshold was 10½ feet deep. ⁷ Each recess was 10½ feet long and 10½ feet deep, and there was a space of 8¾ feet^[d] between the recesses. The inner threshold of the gate on the temple side next to the gate’s portico was 10½ feet.
