Ezekiel 40:3-15

3So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of 1bronze, with a 2thread of flax and a 3measuring 4rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway. 4And the man said to me, “5Son of man, 6see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and 7pay attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. 8Declare to the house of Israel all that you see.”

5And behold, there was a 9wall on the outside of the 10temple all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six 11cubits, 12each of which was a 13cubit and a hand width. So he measured the thickness of the 14wall, one rod; and the height, one rod. 6Then he went to the gate which faced 15east, went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod 16in width; and the other threshold was one rod 17in width. 7The 18guardroom 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 19facing inward was one rod. 8Then he measured the porch of the gate 20facing inward, one rod. 9And he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its side pillars, two cubits. And the porch of the gate was 21faced 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 22gateway, ten cubits, and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 12There was a 23barrier wall one cubit wide in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms were six cubits square on each side. 13And he measured the gate from the roof of the one guardroom to the roof of the other, a width of twenty-five cubits, from one door to the door opposite. 14He made the side pillars sixty cubits high; the gate extended all around to the side pillar of the 24courtyard. 15And from the front of the entrance gate to the front of the inner porch of the gate was fifty cubits.
