Ezekiel 40:5-12

5And behold, there was a 1wall on the outside of the 2temple all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a cubit and a 3handbreadth. So he measured the thickness of the 4wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

6Then he went to the gate which faced 5east, went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod 6in width; and the other threshold was one rod 7in width.

7The 8guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide; and there were five cubits between the guardrooms. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate 9facing inward was one rod.

8Then he measured the porch of the gate 10facing inward, one rod.

9He measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its side pillars, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was 11faced inward.

10The guardrooms of the gate toward the east numbered three on each side; the three of them had the same measurement. The side pillars also had the same measurement on each side.

11And he measured the width of the 12gateway, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

12There was a 13barrier wall one cubit wide in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms were six cubits square on each side.
