Ezekiel 42:15-20

15 Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate which faced east, and measured the temple area round about.

16 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.

17 Then he turned and measured the north side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.

18 Then he turned and measured the south side, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.

19 Then he turned to the west side and measured, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.

20 He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits broad, to make a separation between the holy and the common.
