Ezekiel 42:17

He measured the north side, five hundred reeds
From the two angles of that side, east and west; and it was of the same dimension as the east side, just five hundred reeds, or one thousand seven hundred and fifty yards: with a measuring reed round about;
he measured with the same reed, from point to point; and having measured this side, he went to another.
