Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
After he finished measuring everything inside the temple, he took me out to the east gate and started measuring all around the outside too.
God's attention to detail is incredible, he measures every single part of what's his.
