Good News Translation GNT
New International Version NIV
15 When the man had finished measuring inside the Temple area, he took me out through the east gate and then measured the outside of the area.
15
When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around:
16 He took the measuring rod and measured the east side, and it was 840 feet.
16
He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.
17 Then he measured the north side, the south side, and the west side; each side had the same length, 840 feet,
17
He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod.
20 so that the wall enclosed a square 840 feet on each side. The wall served to separate what was holy from what was not.
20
So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common.
