'Measuring' in the Bible

And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:

He took me there, and I saw a man, looking like brass, with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod: and he was stationed in the doorway.

And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

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

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

And the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, and after measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters, which came over my feet.

And again, measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters which came up to my knees. Again, measuring a thousand, he made me go through the waters up to the middle of my body.

Again, after his measuring a thousand, it became a river which it was not possible to go through: for the waters had become deep enough for swimming, a river it was not possible to go through.
