Outside the Temple Area

¹⁵ When the man finished measuring inside the Temple area, he brought me out through the east gateway. He measured the area all around. ¹⁶ The man measured the east side with the measuring stick; it was ·eight hundred seventy-five feet [^Lfive hundred cubits] by the measuring ·stick [rod]. ¹⁷ He measured the north side; it was ·eight hundred seventy-five feet [^Lfive hundred cubits] by the measuring stick. ¹⁸ He measured the south side; it was ·eight hundred seventy-five feet [^Lfive hundred cubits] by the measuring stick. ¹⁹ He went around to the west side; it measured ·eight hundred seventy-five feet [^Lfive hundred cubits] by the measuring stick. ²⁰ So he measured the Temple area on all four sides. The Temple area had a wall all around it that was ·eight hundred seventy-five feet long [^Lfive hundred cubits] and ·eight hundred seventy-five feet [^Lfive hundred cubits] wide. It separated what was holy from ·that which was not holy [the common/profane; ^Critually].
