The East Gate to the Outer Court

⁵ I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits,^[a] each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured^(A) the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.

²⁰ So he measured^(A) the area^(B) on all four sides. It had a wall around it,^(C) five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide,^(D) to separate the holy from the common.^(E)

A Song of Praise

26 In that day^(A) this song will be sung^(B) in the land of Judah:

¹² It had a great, high wall with twelve gates,^(A) and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.^(B)

⁵ And I myself will be a wall^(A) of fire^(B) around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory^(C) within.’^(D)

¹¹ (Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites.^(A) His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide.^[a] It is still in Rabbah^(B) of the Ammonites.)
