Strong's Number H2239 matches the Hebrew זֶרֶת (zereṯ),
which occurs 7 times in 5 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
And marked off the heavens with a span [of the hand],
And calculated the dust of the earth with a [fn]measure,
And weighed the mountains in a balance
And the hills in a pair of scales?
“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.
