He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. He measured the east - north - south - west side - Each of which was five hundred reeds: and, as the building was square, the area must have been nearly thirteen thousand paces. No wonder this was called a city. See Ezekiel 40:2.
