Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

The Wall and Outer Gates

⁵ Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple.^(A) The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of 53 centimetres;^[a] each unit was the standard length plus 8 centimetres.^[b] He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was 3.2 metres,^[c] and its height was the same. ⁶ Then he came to the gate that faced east and climbed its steps.^(B) He measured the threshold of the gate; it was 3.2 metres deep – one threshold was 3.2 metres deep. ⁷ Each recess was 3.2 metres long and 3.2 metres deep, and there was a space of 2.65 metres^[d] between the recesses. The inner threshold of the gate on the temple side next to the gate’s portico was 3.2 metres.
