'Rod' in the Bible
Look, the day is coming!Doom has gone out.The rod has blossomed;arrogance has bloomed.
Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness.None of them will remain:none of their multitude,none of their wealth,and none of the eminent among them.
“I will make you pass under the rod and will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
He brought me there, and I saw a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring rod in his hand. He was standing by the gate.
Now there was a wall surrounding the outside of the temple. The measuring rod in the man’s hand was six units of 21 inches; each unit was the standard length plus three inches. He measured the thickness of the wall structure; it was about 10 feet, and its height was the same.
He measured the east side with a measuring rod;it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
He measured the north side;it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
He measured the south side;it was 875 feet by the measuring rod.
Then he turned to the west sideand measured 875 feet by the measuring rod.
