He measured the east side with the measuring stick ¹  as 875 feet ²  by the measuring stick.

They ¹  spat on him and took the staff ²  and struck him repeatedly ³  on the head.

Then all those living in Egypt will know that I am the Lord because they were a reed staff ¹  for the house of Israel;

He measured the south side as 875 feet by the measuring stick.

A crushed reed he will not break, a dim wick he will not extinguish; ¹  he will faithfully make just decrees. ² 

He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick, until he brings justice to victory.

They glide by ¹  like reed ²  boats, like an eagle that swoops ³  down on its prey. ⁴ 

So the Lord cut off Israel’s head and tail, both the shoots and stalk ¹  in one day.

He measured the north side as 875 feet by the measuring stick.

He turned to the west side and measured 875 feet by the measuring stick.

The Lord will attack Israel, making it like a reed that sways in the water. ¹  He will remove Israel from this good land he gave to their ancestors ²  and scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, ³  because they angered the Lord by making Asherah poles. ⁴ 

While they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness ¹  to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ² 

When ¹  John’s messengers had gone, Jesus ²  began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness ³  to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁴

I saw ¹  a wall all around the outside of the temple. ²  In the man’s hand was a measuring stick 10½ feet ³  long. He measured the thickness of the wall ⁴  as 10½ feet, ⁵  and its height as 10½ feet.

The alcoves were 10½ feet long and 10½ feet wide; between the alcoves were 8¾ feet. ¹  The threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate facing inward was 10½ feet.

Then he measured the porch of the gate facing inward as 10½ feet.

Immediately ¹  one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, ²  put it on a stick, ³  and gave it to him to drink.

Then he went to the gate facing east. He climbed its steps and measured the threshold of the gate as 10½ feet deep. ¹ 

and after braiding ¹  a crown of thorns, ²  they put it on his head. They ³  put a staff ⁴  in his right hand, and kneeling down before him, they mocked him: ⁵  “Hail, king of the Jews!” ⁶
