The water you drink shall be a sixth of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time.

Vision of Abominations in Jerusalem

Now it came about in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.

And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his smashing weapon in his hand; and among them was one man clothed in linen with a scribe’s kit at his waist. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar.

Measurements Relating to the Temple

And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the temple all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a cubit and a hand width. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

There was a barrier wall one cubit wide in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms were six cubits square on each side.

He made the side pillars sixty cubits high; the gate extended all around to the side pillar of the courtyard.

The Inner Temple

Then he brought me to the sanctuary, and he measured the side pillars: six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar.

Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.

Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around the house on every side.

I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height.

“This is the offering that you shall offer: a sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat; a sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley;

The Prince’s Offerings

‘This is what the Lord God says: “The gate of the inner courtyard facing east shall be shut for the six working days; but it shall be opened on the Sabbath day and opened on the day of the new moon.

The burnt offering which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

On the day of the new moon he shall offer a bull without blemish, and six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish.

You shall also provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour, a grain offering to the Lord continually by a permanent ordinance.
