Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long: The connector Then introduces the next event. Next Ezekiel’s guide measured the outside of the Temple. It was a hundred cubits long, that is, 50 meters (168 feet) long (measuring east to west).

And the yard and the building with its walls, a hundred cubits long: Next the man measured from the back of the Temple to the back of the west building (measuring east to west). That distance included the yard, that is, the separating area between the Temple and the west building (see verse 12), which was 20 cubits (10 meters) wide (see verse 10). The total distance was exactly the same as the length of the Temple itself, namely, a hundred cubits, that is, 50 meters (168 feet).
