Ezekiel 40:5-7

5 Then I beheld an outer wall that surrounded the temple on all sides. The length of the measuring rod that the man was holding was six cubits long, each cubit[a] being a cubit and a handbreadth in length. He measured the thickness and the height of the wall; each was one rod.
The East Gate. 6 Then he went to the gate which faced eastward, mounted its steps, and measured the gate’s threshold; it was one rod deep. 7 Each cell was one rod long and one rod wide, and the walls between the cells measured five cubits. The threshold of the gate adjoining the vestibule of the gate at the inner end measured one rod.

The East Gate to the Outer Court
5 I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits,[a] each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. He measured(A) the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.
6 Then he went to the east gate.(B) He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate; it was one rod deep. 7 The alcoves(C) for the guards were one rod long and one rod wide, and the projecting walls between the alcoves were five cubits[b] thick. And the threshold of the gate next to the portico facing the temple was one rod deep.
