The Lord brought me there. There was a man there that looked \{shiny\} like \{polished\} bronze. That man had a cloth tape measure and a measuring rod in his hand. He was standing by the gate.
“And you will give the city an area that is 5,000 cubits {\cf2\super [432]} wide and 25,000 cubits {\cf2\super [433]} long. It will be along the side of the holy area. It will be for all the family of Israel.
So the Lord says,\par “I will come back to Jerusalem\par and comfort her.”\par The Lord All-Powerful says,\par “Jerusalem will be built again.\par And my house will be built there.”\par
Then I was given a measuring rod as long as a walking stick. I was told, “Go and measure the temple {\cf2\super [80]} of God and the altar, {\cf2\super [81]} and count the people worshiping there.
