He defeated [fn]Moab, and [fn]measured them with a length of rope, making them lie down on the ground; he measured two lengths to [choose those to] put to death, and one full length to [choose those to] be kept alive. And the [surviving] Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute.

God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]:

“I will rejoice, I will divide [the land of] Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth [west to east].

God has spoken in His [fn]holiness:

“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],

And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

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?

Both your own wickedness and the wickedness of your fathers,” says the LORD.

“Since they too have made offerings with incense on the mountains

And scorned and taunted Me on the hills,

I therefore will measure [punishment for] their former work [directly] into their [fn]arms.”

Thus says the LORD,

“If the heavens above can be measured

And the foundations of the earth searched out below,

Then I will also cast off and abandon all the descendants of Israel

For all that they have done,” says the LORD.

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.

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,

Then he (the angel) brought me to the nave (outer sanctuary) and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the [fn]side pillar.

Then he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; the separate area and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long.

He (the angel) measured the length of the building along the front of the separate area behind it, with a gallery on each side, a hundred cubits; he also measured the inner sanctuary and the porches (porticoes) of the courtyard.

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.

“As for you, son of man, [fn]describe the temple to the house of Israel, so that they will be ashamed of their sins; and let them measure its plan [in detail].

When the man went out toward the east with a measuring line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water that was ankle-deep.

“The east side, from between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

Yet the number of the [fn]sons of Israel

Shall be like the sand of the sea,

Which cannot be measured or numbered;

And in the place

Where it is said to them,

“You are not My people,”

It will be said to them,

“You are the sons of the living God.”
