17. He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about.
18. He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed.
19. He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed.
20. He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall round about, five hundred long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.
