And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.

And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

And he measured facing the wind of the north: five hundred reeds with the measuring reed throughout the course.

He measured the north side, five hundred reeds,.... From the two angles of that side, east and west; and it was of the same dimension as the east side, just five hundred reeds, or one thousand seven hundred and fifty yards:
with a measuring reed round about; he measured with the same reed, from point to point; and having measured this side, he went to another.
