Revelation 21:16

21:16 Now ⁹  the city is laid out as a square, ¹⁰  its length and width the same. He ¹¹  measured the city with the measuring rod ¹²  at fourteen hundred miles ¹³  (its length and width and height are equal).

[6:20]  ¹ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (this measurement occurs three times in this verse).

[6:20]  ² tn Heb “with plated gold” (or perhaps, “with pure gold”).

[6:20]  ³ tn Heb “he plated [the] altar of cedar.”

[6:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “sixty cubits.” A cubit was a unit of measure roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 cm. Measurements in vv. 2-10 have been converted to feet in the translation for clarity.

[6:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “twenty cubits.”

[6:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “thirty cubits.”

[3:8]  ⁷ tn There is no verb expressed in the Hebrew text; “stands” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[3:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “your people whom you have chosen.”

[21:16]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the somewhat parenthetical nature of the description of the city.

[21:16]  ¹⁰ 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.”

[21:16]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:16]  ¹² tn Grk “with the rod”; the word “measuring” is supplied from the description in v. 15.

[21:16]  ¹³ tn Or “two thousand two hundred kilometers,” Grk “12,000 stades.” A stade was a measure of length about 607 ft (185 m).
