Ezekiel 40:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 And the man spoke to me, “Son of man,[a] look with your eyes and listen with your ears and apply[b] your heart to all that I am showing you, for you were brought here in order to show you this; tell all that you are seeing to the house of Israel.”
The Eastern Gate
5 And there was a wall on the outside of the temple all the way around it,[c] and in the hand of the man the reed[d] for measurement was six long cubits, according to[e] the cubit[f] and a handbreadth,[g] and he measured the width of the outer wall as one reed,[h] and the height as one reed.[i] 6 And then he went toward[j] the gate whose face was to the east.[k] And he went up by[l] its steps, and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed[m] wide.
