Ezekiel 40:5-8

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 3cubits, 4each of which was a 5cubit and a hand width. So he measured the thickness of the 6wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

6Then he went to the gate which faced 7east, went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod 8in width; and the other threshold was one rod 9in width.

7The 10guardroom 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 11facing inward was one rod.

8Then he measured the porch of the gate 12facing inward, one rod.
