- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Per quatuor ventos mensus est murum ejus undique per circuitum, longitudinem quingentorum cubitorum, et latitudinem quingentorum cubitorum, dividentem inter sanctuarium et vulgi locum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- τὰ τέσσερα μέρη τοῦ αὐτοῦ καλάμου· καὶ διέταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ περίβολον αὐτῶν κύκλῳ, πεντακοσίων πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ πεντακοσίων πηχῶν εὖρος, τοῦ διαστέλλειν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ προτειχίσματος τοῦ ἐν διατάξει τοῦ οἴκου.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Cubits. This confirms the former correction, ver. 16. (Haydock)
Hebrew has only, "of five hundred." Maldonat and Cornelius a Lapide would understand reeds, to agree with what goes before. (Menochius)
Separation. Josephus mentions a wall three cubits high, on the pillars of which was written in Greek and Latin, that such as entered the temple must be pure, (Calmet) and no stranger. (Haydock)
Into this court all might come. (Philo) (Calmet)
