'Measuring' in the Bible
When he brought me there, I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring stick in his hand. He was standing in the gateway.
I saw a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man's hand was a measuring stick 10? feet long. He measured the thickness of the wall as 10? feet, and its height as 10? feet.
I saw that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers were a full measuring stick of 10? feet high.
Now when he had finished measuring the interior of the temple, he led me out by the gate which faces east and measured all around.
He measured the east side with the measuring stick as 875 feet by the measuring stick.
He measured the north side as 875 feet by the measuring stick.
He measured the south side as 875 feet by the measuring stick.
He turned to the west side and measured 875 feet by the measuring stick.
When the man went out toward the east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured 1,750 feet, and then he led me through water, which was ankle deep.
