14 When the priests enter the Holy Place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court 1without laying there the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. 2They shall put on other garments before they go near to that which is for the people."
15 Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by 3the gate that faced east, and measured the temple area all around.
16 He measured the east side with 4the measuring reed, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around.
17 He measured the north side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed all around.
18 He measured the south side, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.
19 Then he turned to the west side and measured, 500 cubits by the measuring reed.
20 He measured it on the four sides. It had 5a wall around it, cubits long and cubits broad, 6to make a separation between the holy and the common.
