'Space' in the Bible

David crossed to the other side and stood on top of the mountain at a distance; there was a considerable space between them.

He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the plates of its braces and on its frames, wherever each had space, with encircling wreaths.

He stretches the northern skies over empty space;He hangs the earth on nothing.

Each recess was about 10 feet long and 10 feet deep, and there was a space of 8¾ feet between the recesses. The inner threshold of the gate on the temple side next to the gate’s portico was about 10 feet.

The thickness of the outer wall of the side rooms was 8¾ feet. The free space between the side rooms of the temple

The side rooms opened into the free space, one entrance toward the north and another to the south. The area of free space was 8¾ feet wide all around.

Opposite the 35 foot space belonging to the inner court and opposite the paved surface belonging to the outer court, the structure rose gallery by gallery in three tiers.

The upper chambers were narrower because the galleries took away more space from them than from the lower and middle stories of the building.

In this area there will be a square section for the sanctuary, 875 by 875 feet, with 87½ feet of open space all around it.

“The remaining area, 1⅔ of a mile wide and 8⅓ miles long, will be for common use by the city, for both residential and open space. The city will be in the middle of it.

The city’s open space will extend:425 feet to the north,425 feet to the south,425 feet to the east,and 425 feet to the west.
