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.

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. 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.
