Ezekiel 40:5
And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
KJV
Et ecce murus forinsecus in circuitu domus undique : et in manu viri calamus mensuræ sex cubitorum et palmo : et mensus est latitudinem ædificii calamo uno, altitudinem quoque calamo uno.
Vulgate
Καὶ ἰδοὺ περίβολος ἔξωθεν τοῦ οἴκου κύκλῳ, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς κάλαμος τὸ μέτρον πηχῶν ἓξ ἐν πήχει καὶ παλαιστῆς· καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὸ προτείχισμα, πλάτος ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ, καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ.
LXX
And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
