And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lies toward the north, and every man a weapon for slaughter in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.

And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring rod of six cubits long by the cubit and a handbreadth: so he measured the width of the building, one rod; and the height, one rod.

The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tabernacle.

Then went he inside, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the width of the door, seven cubits.

After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the width of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.

I saw also an elevation of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six great cubits.

Thus says the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that faces the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.

And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
