15 Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple, he led me out by the gate that faces east and measured all around. 16 He measured the east side with the measuring stick[a] as 875 feet[b] by the measuring stick. 17 He measured the north side as 875 feet by the measuring stick. 18 He measured the south side as 875 feet by the measuring stick. 19 He turned to the west side and measured 875 feet by the measuring stick. 20 He measured it on all four sides. It had a wall around it, 875 feet long and 875 feet wide, to separate the holy and common places.

Lexham English Bible
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.
