Ezekiel 42:15-20
Modern English Version
15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner temple, he brought me out by the gate that faces east, and measured it all around. 16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits[a] with the measuring reed all around. 17 He measured the north side with the measuring reed round about, five hundred reeds. 18 He measured the south side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds. 19 He turned about to the west side and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 20 He measured it by the four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred reeds long and five hundred wide,[b] to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.

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.
