Ezekiel 42:15-17
Wycliffe Bible
15 And when he had filled the measures of the inner house, he led me out by the way of the gate that beheld to the east way; and he meted it on each side by compass. (And when he had finished the measurements of the inner temple, he led me out by the gateway that faced east; and he measured it on each side all around.)
16 Forsooth he meted against the east wind with the reed of measure, by compass five hundred reeds [five hundred rods], in a reed of measure by compass. (And he measured the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred cubits[a] in length.)
17 And he meted against the wind of the north five hundred reeds [five hundred rods], in the reed of measure by compass. (And he measured the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred cubits in length.)
