Ezekiel 43:16

43:16 Now the altar hearth ¹  is a perfect square, 21 feet ²  long and 21 feet wide.

John 6:37

6:37 Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away. ³ 

Hebrews 13:8

13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever!

Revelation 21:16

21:16 Now ⁴  the city is laid out as a square, ⁵  its length and width the same. He ⁶  measured the city with the measuring rod ⁷  at fourteen hundred miles ⁸  (its length and width and height are equal).

¹ tn The precise Hebrew word used here to refer to an “altar hearth” occurs only here in the OT.

² tn Heb “twelve cubits” (i.e., 6.3 meters; the phrase occurs twice in this verse).

³ tn Or “drive away”; Grk “cast out.”

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the somewhat parenthetical nature of the description of the city.

⁵ tn Or “the city lies square.” On κεῖμαι (keimai) in this context, BDAG 537 s.v. 2 states, “lie, of things…ἡ πόλις τετράγωνος κεῖται is laid out as a square Rv 21:16.”

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁷ tn Grk “with the rod”; the word “measuring” is supplied from the description in v. 15.

⁸ tn Or “two thousand two hundred kilometers,” Grk “12,000 stades.” A stade was a measure of length about 607 ft (185 m).
