3 E havendo me levado ali, eis um homem cuja aparência era como a aparência de bronze, e [tinha] um cordel de linho em sua mão, e uma cana de medir; e ele estava em pé à porta.

4 E aquele homem me falou: Filho do homem, olha com teus olhos, ouve com teus ouvidos, e põe teu coração em tudo quanto eu te mostrar, pois foste trazido aqui para que eu te mostrasse. Anuncia, pois, à casa de Israel tudo o que vires.

5 E eis, um muro fora do templo ao redor; e na mão daquele homem uma cana de medir de seis côvados, [cada côvado] de um côvado e um palmo; e mediu a largura do edifício de uma cana, e a altura, de outra cana.

6 Então ele veio à porta que estava voltada para o oriente, subiu por seus degraus, e mediu o umbral da porta de uma cana de largura, e o outro umbral de outra cana de largura.
