15 When he finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he brought me out by way of the gate facing east and measured all around it.
16 He measured the east side, five hundred cubits by his measuring rod. Then he turned
17 and measured the north side: five hundred cubits by his measuring rod. He turned
18 and measured the south side, five hundred cubits by his measuring rod.
19 He turned and measured the west side, also five hundred cubits by his measuring rod.
20 Thus he measured it on the four sides. It was surrounded by a wall five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the sacred from the profane.
