“I looked up!
I saw a man
With a measuring line
In his hand!”
The next vision of Zechariah was about a man with a measuring line in his hand. This was somewhat like the prophet Ezekiel, chapters 40-41, with the bronze man who was measuring everything in Jerusalem.
“When he had finished measuring
The interior
Of the temple area,
He led me out
By the gate
That faces east.
He measured the temple area
All around.”
The bronze man had finished measuring the inside of the Temple area. He then took Ezekiel out the east gate, so that that they could measure the outer wall of the Temple area.
