'Rod' in the Bible

‘Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.

Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their people, none of their wealth, nor anything eminent among them.

“I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

‘Sharpened to make a slaughter,Polished to flash like lightning!’Or shall we rejoice, the rod of My son despising every tree?

For there is a testing; and what if even the rod which despises will be no more?” declares the Lord God.

So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway.

And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the temple all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

Then he went to the gate which faced east, went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in width; and the other threshold was one rod in width.

The guardroom was one rod long and one rod wide; and there were five cubits between the guardrooms. And the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate facing inward was one rod.

Then he measured the porch of the gate facing inward, one rod.

I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full rod of six long cubits in height.
