Ezekiel 42:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ When the priests enter the holy place, they shall not go out of it into the outer court without laying there the vestments in which they minister, for these are holy; they shall put on other garments before they go near to the area open to the people.”

¹⁵ When he had finished measuring the interior of the temple area, he led me out by the gate that faces east, and measured the temple area all around. ¹⁶ He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred cubits by the measuring reed.
