‘You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight or quantity.

All these were of expensive stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and from the outside to the great courtyard.

“When He gave weight and pressure to the wind

And allotted the waters by measure,

“LORD, let me know my [life’s] end

And [to appreciate] the extent of my days;

Let me know how frail I am [how transient is my stay here].

It is like the precious oil [of consecration] poured on the head,

Coming down on the beard,

Even the beard of Aaron,

Coming down upon the edge of his [priestly] robes [consecrating the whole body].

For this is what the LORD says,

“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush (ancient Ethiopia)

And the Sabeans, men of stature,

Will come over to you and they will be yours;

They will walk behind you, in chains [of subjection to you] they will come over,

And they will bow down before you;

They will make supplication to you, [humbly and earnestly] saying,

[fn]‘Most certainly God is with you, and there is no other,

No other God [besides Him].’”

Who says, ‘I will build myself a spacious house

With large upper rooms,

And cut out its [wide] windows,

And panel it with cedar and paint it vermilion.’

And behold, there was a wall all around the outside [area] of the temple (house) [of the LORD], and in the man’s hand a measuring rod six cubits long (10.2 ft.), [fn]each [fn]cubit being longer than the [fn]standard one by a hand width. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

Then he led me toward the south, and behold, there was a gate toward the south; and he measured its side pillars and its porches, [fn]and they measured the same as the others.

Then the man (angel) brought me to the inner courtyard by the south gate; and he measured the south gate according to those same measurements.

He brought me into the inner courtyard toward the east, and he measured the gate; it measured the same as the others.

Then he brought me to the north gate and he measured it; the measurements were the same as those of the other gates,

Now when he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out toward the gate which faced east and measured the outer area all around.

“And these are the measurements of the altar [of burnt offering] in cubits (the cubit being a [long] cubit [the length of a forearm] and a hand width): the [fn]base shall be a cubit [long] and a cubit wide, with its border on its edge all around it of a span [in width]. And this shall be the height of the [fn]base of the altar.
