Measurement
11-1
CHAPTER
11
And there
was given me a (a)reed like to a (b)sceptre: the
(c)angel said,
"Rise, and measure the Temple of God, and the
alter, and them that worship therein."
(a) "Reed;" the measuring "reed,"
= 6 cubits. The "full reed," = six "great" cubits. The
great cubit is "one cubit + one hand breath." 6 hand breadths = one
standard cubit, the great cubit = 7 handbreadths. The full reed on the basis of
6 x 7 x 3.575" = thereabouts 12.5' (or 12'6" approx.)
