⁶ While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple.

³ As the man went eastward with a measuring line^(A) in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits^[a] and then led me through water that was ankle-deep.

² And I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. With them was a man clothed in linen^(A) who had a writing kit at his side. They came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
