Revelation 21:17

He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits ¹  according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s. ² 

He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man’s measurement, which the angel was using.

And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements.

Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (the angel used a standard human measure).

Using the standard measure, the Angel measured the thickness of its wall: 144 cubits.

And he took the measure of its wall, one hundred and forty-four cubits, after the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits by human measurement, which the angel was using.

Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty–four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits ¹  according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s. ² 

¹ 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).

² 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.
