=== Ezekiel 40:1-5 ===
40 In the 25th year of our exile,+ at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the 14th year after the city had fallen,+ on that very day the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he took me to the city.+ 2 By means of visions from God, he brought me to the land of Israel and set me down on a very high mountain,+ on which there was a structure like a city to the south. 3 When he brought me there, I saw a man whose appearance was like that of copper.+ He had a flax cord and a measuring reed* in his hand,+ and he was standing in the gateway. 4 The man said to me: “Son of man, look closely, listen carefully, and pay attention* to everything I show you, for that is why you were brought here. Tell the house of Israel everything that you see.”+ 5 I saw a wall surrounding the outside of the temple.* In the man’s hand was a measuring reed six cubits long (to each cubit, a handbreadth was added).* He began to measure the wall, and its thickness was one reed and its height was one reed.
