Ezekiel 42:14-20

14 cum autem ingressi fuerint sacerdotes non egredientur de sanctis in atrium exterius et ibi reponent vestimenta sua in quibus ministrant quia sancta sunt vestienturque vestimentis aliis et sic procedent ad populum

15 cumque conplesset mensuras domus interioris eduxit me per viam portae quae respiciebat ad viam orientalem et mensus est eam undique per circuitum

16 mensus autem est contra ventum orientalem calamo mensurae quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum

17 et mensus est contra ventum aquilonem quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per gyrum

18 et ad ventum australem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae per circuitum

19 et ad ventum occidentalem mensus est quingentos calamos in calamo mensurae

20 per quattuor ventos mensus est illud murum eius undique per circuitum longitudine quingentorum cubitorum et latitudine quingentorum cubitorum dividentem inter sanctuarium et vulgi locum
