Ezekiel 40:5-7
Modern English Version
The East Gate
5 There was a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring reed of six cubits[a] long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth.[b] So he measured the width of the building, one reed. And the height, one reed.
6 Then he went to the gateway facing east; and he went up its stairs and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed wide. And the other threshold of the gate was one reed wide. 7 Every little chamber was one reed long and one reed wide. And between the little chambers were five cubits.[c] And the threshold of the gate by the vestibule of the inside gate was one reed.
