- a reed:
- "Andª he that talkedª° withª meª hadª° a goldenª reedª toª measureª° the¹ city,ª andª the¹ gatesª thereof,ª andª the¹ wallª thereof.ª" {Rev 21:15} + "Judgmentª also will I layª° to the line,ª and righteousnessª to the plummet:ª and the hailª shall sweep awayª° the refugeª of lies,ª and the watersª shall overflowª° the hiding place.ª" {Isa 28:17} + "And he broughtª° me thither,¹ and, behold,¹ [there was] a man,ª whose appearanceª [was] like the appearanceª of brass,ª with a lineª of flaxª in his hand,ª and a measuringª reed;ª and he¹ stoodª° in the gate.ª ... And behold¹ a wallª on the outsideª¹ of the houseª round about,ª and in the man'sª handª a measuringª reedª of sixª cubitsª [long] by the cubitª and an hand breadth:ª so he measuredª°¹ the breadthª of the building,ª oneª reed;ª and the height,ª oneª reed.ª" {Ezk 40:3-5} + "Now when he had made an endª° of¹ measuringª the innerª house,ª he brought me forthª° towardª the gateª whose¹ prospectª [is] towardª the east,ª and measuredª° it round about.ª ... He measuredª° it by the fourª sides:ª it had a wallª round about,ª fiveª hundredª [reeds] long,ª and fiveª hundredª broad,ª to make a separationª° between¹ the sanctuaryª and the profane place.ª" {Ezk 42:15-20} + "I lifted upª° mine eyesª again, and looked,ª° and behold¹ a manª with a measuringª lineª in his hand.ª ... Then saidª° I, Whither¹ goestª° thou?¹ And he saidª° unto¹ me, To measureª°¹ Jerusalem,ª to seeª° whatª [is] the breadthª thereof, and what¹ [is] the lengthª thereof." {Zch 2:1-2} + "Butª God forbidªª° that Iª should glory,ª° saveª inª the¹ crossª of ourª Lordª Jesusª Christ,ª byª whomª the worldª is crucifiedª° unto me,ª and Iª unto the¹ world.ª ... Andª as many asª walkª° according to²° thisª rule,ª peaceª [be] onª them,ª andª mercy,ª andª uponª the¹ Israelª of God.ª" {Gal 6:14-16}
