Ezekiel 42:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴ Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments^(A) in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people.^(B)”

¹⁵ When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate^(C) and measured the area all around: ¹⁶ He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits.^[a][b]
