Ezekiel 40:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 And the man said to me, “(A)Son of man, (B)see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and [a]pay attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. (C)Declare to the house of Israel all that you see.”
Measurements Relating to the Temple
5 And behold, there was a (D)wall on the outside of the [b]temple all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six [c]cubits, [d]each of which was a [e]cubit and a hand width. So he measured the thickness of the [f]wall, one rod; and the height, one rod. 6 Then he went to the gate which faced (E)east, went up its steps, and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod [g]in width; and the other threshold was one rod [h]in width.
