'Measure' in the Bible

Then I was given a stick like a measuring rod. I was told, "Stand up and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count those who worship there.

But don't measure the courtyard outside the Temple. Leave that out, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the Holy City for 42 months.

The angel who was talking to me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.
