Ezekiel 40:7–13

^7*Beyond it there was a passage, which had three guardrooms on each side. Each of the rooms was square, three metres on each side, and the walls between them were two and a half metres thick. Beyond the guardrooms there was a passage three metres long that led to an entrance room which faced the Temple. ^8–9*He measured this room, and found it was four metres deep. It formed that end of the gateway which was nearest the Temple, and at its far end the walls were one metre thick. ^10*(These guardrooms on each side of the passage were all the same size, and the walls between them were all of the same thickness.)

^11*Next, the man measured the width of the passage in the gateway. It was six and a half metres altogether, and the space between the open gates was five metres. ^12*In front of each of the guardrooms there was a low wall fifty centimetres high and fifty centimetres thick. (The rooms were three metres square.) ^13*Then he measured the distance from the back wall^q of one room to the back wall^r of the room across the passage from it, and it was twelve and a half metres.
