14 When priests have been in the Temple and want to go to the outer courtyard, they must leave in these rooms the holy clothing they wore while serving the Lord. They must put on other clothes before going out to the area where the people gather.”
15 When the man had finished measuring inside the Temple area, he took me out through the east gate and then measured the outside of the area.
16 He took the measuring rod and measured the east side, and it was 840 feet.
17-19 Then he measured the north side, the south side, and the west side; each side had the same length, 840 feet,
20 so that the wall enclosed a square 840 feet on each side. The wall served to separate what was holy from what was not.
