And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

40:5 six cubits. A standard cubit was about eighteen inches in length, and a hand breadth about three inches, making a “long cubit” of about twenty-one inches. The measuring rod was six long cubits, or about 10.5 feet in length. This will be the height and width of the wall surrounding this future temple.
