48:15 “The remainder, one and two-thirds miles ⁴  in width and eight and a quarter miles ⁵  in length, will be for common use by the city, for houses and for open space. The city will be in the middle of it; 48:16 these will be its measurements: The north side will be one and one-half miles, ⁶  the south side one and one-half miles, the east side one and one-half miles, and the west side one and one-half miles. 48:17 The city will have open spaces: On the north there will be 437½ feet, ⁷  on the south 437½ feet, on the east 437½ feet, and on the west 437½ feet.

Revelation 11:1

The Fate of the Two Witnesses

11:1 Then ¹²  a measuring rod ¹³  like a staff was given to me, and I was told, ¹⁴  “Get up and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and the ones who worship there.

Revelation 21:15-17

21:15 The angel ¹⁵  who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall. 21:16 Now ¹⁶  the city is laid out as a square, ¹⁷  its length and width the same. He ¹⁸  measured the city with the measuring rod ¹⁹  at fourteen hundred miles ²⁰  (its length and width and height are equal). 21:17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits ²¹  according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s. ²² 

[31:39]  ¹ tn The words “west” and “southward” are not in the text but are supplied in the translation to give some orientation.

[45:6]  ² tn Heb “five thousand cubits” (i.e., 2.625 kilometers).

[45:6]  ³ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[48:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “five thousand cubits” (i.e., 2.625 kilometers).

[48:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “twenty-five thousand cubits” (i.e., 13.125 kilometers).

[48:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “four thousand five hundred cubits” (i.e., 2.36 kilometers); the phrase occurs three more times in this verse.

[48:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “two hundred fifty cubits” (i.e., 131.25 meters); the phrase occurs three more times in this verse.

[48:30]  ⁸ tn Heb “four thousand five hundred cubits” (i.e., 2.36 kilometers); the phrase occurs again in vv. 32-34.

[48:31]  ⁹ sn See Rev 21:12-14.

[48:35]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “eighteen thousand cubits” (i.e., 9.45 kilometers).

[48:35]  ¹¹ sn See Rev 21:12-21.

[11:1]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[11:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “a reed” (but these were used for measuring). Cf. Ezek 40:3ff.

[11:1]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “saying.”

[21:15]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (the angel of v. 9) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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

[21:16]  ¹⁷ 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]  ¹⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[21:16]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “with the rod”; the word “measuring” is supplied from the description in v. 15.

[21:16]  ²⁰ tn Or “two thousand two hundred kilometers,” Grk “12,000 stades.” A stade was a measure of length about 607 ft (185 m).

[21:17]  ²¹ tn Here the measurement was kept in cubits in the translation because of the possible symbolic significance of the number 144 (12 times 12). This is about 216 ft (65 m).

[21:17]  ²² tn Here L&N 81.1 translate the phrase μέτρον ἀνθρώπου, ὅ ἐστιν ἀγγέλου (metron anqrwpou, {o estin angelou) “‘the unit of measurement used by a person, that is, by an angel’ Re 21:17.” It is more likely that μέτρον is an accusative of respect or reference.
