'Measuring reed' in the Bible

And when he brought me thither, then lo! a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a flax-cord in his hand and measuring reed, - and he was standing in the gate.

And lo a wall on the outside of the house round about on every side, - and in the hand of the man, was the measuring reed six cubits by the cubit, and a handbreadth, so he measured the breadth of the enclosing-wall, one reed, and the height one reed.

He measured the east side with the measuring reed, - five hundred reeds by the measuring reed round about,

He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed round about.

The south side, measured he, - five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.

He turned about to the west side, - he measured five hundred reeds, by the measuring reed.
