Ezekiel 40:5-7
International Standard Version
Measuring the Temple Grounds
5 All of a sudden, we were at the exterior wall that completely surrounded the Temple. The man whom I had observed held a measuring reed that was six cubits[a] long as measured in cubits that were a cubit and a handbreadth[b] long. As he measured the thickness of the wall, he measured out one reed.[c] Its height was also one reed.[d] 6 Then he went over to the gate that faced toward the east, ascended its steps, and measured its thresholds. One threshold measured one reed[e] and the other one measured one reed.[f] 7 Each guardhouse[g] measured one reed[h] long and one reed[i] wide, and the distance[j] between each guardhouse was five cubits.[k] The threshold of the gate near the vestibule facing away from the Temple entrance[l] measured one reed.[m]
