'Measuring rod' in the Bible

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.

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 there was given to me a measuring rod: and one said, Go up and take the measure of the house of God, and the altar, and the worshippers in it.

And he who was talking with me had a gold measuring-rod to take the measure of the town, and of its doors, and its wall.
