Ezekiel 40:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 I saw a wall that went all the way around the outside of the Temple. In the man’s hand there was a ruler for measuring things. It was 6 cubits[a] long using the long measurement,[b] so the man measured the thickness of the wall. It was one ruler[c] thick. He measured the height of the wall. It was one ruler tall.
6 Then the man went to the east gate. He walked up its steps and measured the opening for the gate. It was one ruler wide. 7 The guardrooms were one ruler long and one ruler wide. The walls between the rooms were 5 cubits[d] thick. The opening by the porch at the end of the gateway that faced the Temple was also one ruler wide.
