Ezekiel 40:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ He brought me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze,^(A) with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand.^(B) He was standing by the city gate. ⁴ He spoke to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, listen with your ears,^(C) and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for you have been brought here so that I might show it to you. Report everything you see to the house of Israel.”^(D)

The Wall and Outer Gates

⁵ Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple.^(E) The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of twenty-one inches;^[a] each unit was the standard length plus three inches.^[b] He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was 10½ feet,^[c] and its height was the same.
