'Six' in the Bible
Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
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.
There was a barrier wall one cubit wide in front of the guardrooms on each side; and the guardrooms were six cubits square on each side.
Then he brought me to the nave and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar.
Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.
Then he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits; and the width of the side chambers, four cubits, all around about the house on every side.
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.
‘Thus says the Lord God, “The gate of the inner court facing east shall be shut the six working days; but it shall be opened on the sabbath day and opened on the day of the new moon.
The burnt offering which the prince shall offer to the Lord on the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;
On the day of the new moon he shall offer a young bull without blemish, also six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish.
