The Eastern Gate

⁵ And there was a wall on the outside of the temple all the way around it,^[a] and in the hand of the man the reed^[b] for measurement was six long cubits, according to^[c] the cubit^[d] and a handbreadth,^[e] and he measured the width of the outer wall as one reed,^[f] and the height as one reed.^[g]

¹⁵ And he completed the measurements of the inner temple, and he brought me to the walkway of the gate that faces toward the east^[a] and he measured it all the way around.^{[b] 16} He measured the east side with the reed^[c] for^[d] measuring, five hundred cubits,^[e] with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement, he measured it all around. ¹⁷ He measured the north side as five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement all around. ¹⁸ Then he measured the south side as five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement. ¹⁹ He went around the west side^[f] and he measured five hundred cubits, with respect to reeds with the reed for measurement. ²⁰ Toward the four sides^[g] he measured it; there was a wall for it all the way around.^[h] Its length was five hundred cubits^[i] and its width was five hundred cubits, in order to make a separation between what is holy and what is common.

² And there shall be from this area five hundred cubits^[a] by five hundred cubits, squared all around, for the sanctuary; and fifty cubits^[b][c] of open space shall be for it all around it.
