Forsooth he meted against the east wind with the reed of measure, by compass five hundred reeds [five hundred rods], in a reed of measure by compass. (And he measured the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred cubits in length.)

And he meted against the wind of the north five hundred reeds [five hundred rods], in the reed of measure by compass. (And he measured the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred cubits in length.)

And at the south wind he meted five hundred reeds [five hundred rods], with a reed of measure by compass. (And he measured the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred cubits in length.)

And at the west wind he meted five hundred reeds [five hundred rods], with the reed of measure. (And he measured the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred cubits in length.)

By (the) four winds he meted the wall thereof on each side by compass, the length of five hundred [cubits], and the breadth of five hundred [cubits], (the wall) separating betwixt the saintuary and the place of the common people. (On all four sides he measured its wall, on each side all around, the length of five hundred cubits, and the breadth of five hundred cubits. The wall was to separate the place for the sanctuary, from the place for the common people.)
