Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Now when he had completed the measuring of the inner house, he then led me out by the way of the gate facing the east and measured the plot of the house all around in order. ¹⁶ Having taken a station behind the gate facing the east he measured five hundred cubits with the measuring reed. ¹⁷ Then turning at the north he measured the north side five hundred cubits with his measuring reed. ¹⁸ Then turning at the west he measured the west side five hundred with his measuring reed; ¹⁹ then turning at the south he measured five hundred with his measuring reed. ²⁰ The four sides of the height and breadth of this same reed. And he appointed this, namely, the surrounding parapet wall which was five hundred cubits on the east side and five hundred cubits broad to make a separation between the Holies and the vacant space before the wall, which was to be comprehended in the plot of the house.
