I got up in the night and took a small band of men with me. I said nothing to any man of what God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem, I had no beast with me but the one on which I was seated. I went in the dark through the gateway of the valley past the Fountain of the Snake (Serpent's Well) as far as the place where waste material was stored. From there I viewed the broken down walls of Jerusalem and the gateways that were burned with fire. Then I went on to the door of the fountain and to the king's pool: but there was no room for my beast to get through. read more.
Then in the night I went up by the stream, viewed the wall and then turned back. I went in by the valley gate. The chiefs had no knowledge of where I had been or what I was doing. I had not then said anything to the Jews or to the priests or the great ones or the chiefs or the rest of those who were doing the work.

Appoint three men from each tribe: and I will send them, and they will rise, and go through the land, and write a description of it according to their inheritance. Then they will return to me. They will divide it into seven parts: Judah will abide in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph will abide in their border on the north. You will write a description of the land [divided] into seven parts, and bring the description to me, that I may cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God. read more.
The Levites have no part among you. The priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance. Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the Jehovah gave them. The men stood up and went away. Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying: Go and walk through the land, and write a description of it, and come again to me, that I may cast lots for you before Jehovah in Shiloh. The men went and passed through the land, and wrote a description of it by cities into seven parts in a book, and returned to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

I saw a wall that surrounded the Temple. The man had a measuring stick that was ten and one half feet long. He measured the wall. It was ten and one half feet thick and ten and one half feet high. The man went to the gateway that faced east. He went up its steps and measured the entrance to the gateway. It was ten and one half feet wide.
