4 Y hablóme aquel varón, [diciendo]: Hijo del hombre, mira con tus ojos, y oye con tus oídos, y pon tu corazón á todas las cosas que te muestro; porque para que yo te las mostrase eres traído aquí. Cuenta todo lo que ves á la casa de Israel.

5 Y he aquí, un muro fuera de la casa: y la caña de medir que aquel varón tenía en la mano, era de seis codos, de á codo y palmo: y midió la anchura del edificio de una caña, y la altura, de otra caña.

6 Después vino á la puerta que daba cara hacia el oriente, y subió por sus gradas, y midió el un poste de la puerta, de una caña en anchura, y el otro poste de otra caña en ancho.
