Ezekiel 40:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ He took me to that place. There was a man there who looked like polished bronze. He had a cloth tape measure and a measuring rod in his hand. He was standing by the gate. ⁴ The man said to me, “Son of man,^[a] use your eyes and ears. Look at these things and listen to me. Pay attention to everything that I show you, because you have been brought here so that I can show you these things. You must tell the family of Israel all that you see.”

⁵ I saw a wall that went all the way around the outside of the Temple. In the man’s hand there was a ruler for measuring things. It was 6 cubits^[b] long using the long measurement,^[c] so the man measured the thickness of the wall. It was one ruler^[d] thick. He measured the height of the wall. It was one ruler tall.
