Ezekiel 40:5-7

New International Reader's Version

The East Gate to the Outer Courtyard

⁵ I saw a wall that completely surrounded the temple area. The measuring rod in the man’s hand was 11 feet long. He measured the wall with it. The wall was as thick and as high as one measuring rod.

⁶ Then the man went to the east gate. He climbed its steps. He measured the gateway. It was one rod wide. ⁷ The rooms where the guards stood were one rod long and one rod wide. The walls between the rooms were almost nine feet thick. The gateway next to the porch was one rod wide. The porch faced the front of the temple.
