And lo! a wall withoutforth, in the compass of the house (of the Lord) on each side; and in the hand of the man was a reed of measure of six cubits and a span, that is, an handbreadth; and he meted the breadth of the building with one reed, and the highness by one reed. (And behold! a wall outside, all around the House of the Lord, or the Temple, on every side; and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, reckoning by the long cubit, that is, a cubit and a hand’s breadth; and he measured the breadth of the wall, one rod, and its height, one rod.)
