Ezekiel 40:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ And He brought me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a linen thread in his hand and a reed with which to measure. And he stood at the gate.

⁴ And the man said to me, “Son of man, behold with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you. For you have been brought here with the intention that they might be shown to you. Declare all that you see to the House of Israel.”

⁵ And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house, all around. And in the man’s hand was a reed with which to measure, of six cubits long by one cubit and a handbreadth. So, he measured the breadth of the building with one reed, and the height with one reed.
