¹⁵Now when the man had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faced east, and he measured the area all around: ¹⁶With a measuring rod he measured the east side to be five hundred cubits long. ¹⁷He measured the north side to be five hundred cubits long. ¹⁸He measured the south side to be five hundred cubits long. ¹⁹And he came around and measured the west side to be five hundred cubits long. ²⁰So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
