Ezekiel 40:3-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. And he led me into that place. And behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a linen rope in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing at the gate.

4. And the same man said to me: "Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I will reveal to you. For you have been brought to this place, so that these things may be revealed to you. Announce all that you see to the house of Israel."

5. And behold, there was a wall outside of the house, encircling it all around, and in the man's hand was a measuring reed of six cubits and a palm. And he measured the width of the edifice with one reed; likewise, the height with one reed.

6. And he went to the gate which looked toward the east, and he ascended by its steps. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed in width.

7. And a chamber was one reed in length and one reed in width. And between the chambers, there were five cubits.

8. And the threshold of the gate, next to the inner vestibule of the gate, was one reed.

9. And he measured the vestibule of the gate as eight cubits, and its front as two cubits. But the vestibule of the gate was inside.

10. Moreover, the chambers of the gate, toward the way of the east, were three from one side to the other. The three were of one measure, and the fronts were of one measure, on both sides.

11. And he measured the width of the threshold of the gate as ten cubits, and the length of the gate as thirteen cubits.

12. And before the chambers, the border was one cubit. And on both sides, the border was one cubit. But the chambers were six cubits, from one side to the other.

13. And he measured the gate, from the roof of one chamber to the roof of another, twenty-five cubits in width, from door to door.

14. And he found the fronts to be sixty cubits. And at the front, there was a court for the gate on every side all around.

15. And before the face of the gate, which extended even to the face of the vestibule of the gate of the interior, there were fifty cubits.
