Ezekiel 40:5

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

And behold a wall round about the house without, and in the man's hand a reed, the measure [of it was] six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the reed.
And I saw a wall surrounding the temple area. Now the length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits (note: 6 long cubits, the length of the reed used for measuring, is approximately 10.5 feet or 3.2 meters; similarly in verses 6, 7, and 12. The long cubit of about 21 inches or 53.3 centimeters is the basic unit of length throughout Ezekiel 40 to 48.) (each measuring a cubit and a handbreadth), and he measured the wall to be one rod thick and one rod high.
