Ezekiel 40:5-7

Good News Translation

The East Gate

^5 (A)What I saw was the Temple, and there was a wall around it. The man took his measuring rod, which was 10 feet long, and measured the wall. It was 10 feet high and 10 feet thick. ⁶ Then he went to the gateway that faced east. He went up the steps, and at the top he measured the entrance; it was 10 feet deep.^{[a] 7} Beyond it there was a passageway, which had three guardrooms on each side. Each of the rooms was square, 10 feet on each side, and the walls between them were 8 feet thick. Beyond the guardrooms there was a passageway 10 feet long that led to an entrance room which faced the Temple.
