¹⁷And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits^k according to human measure^l, which is the angel’s.

kThis number in cubits amounts to 12 times 12; it would be about 65 meters (216 feet)
lLiterally “according to the measure of a man”

He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement.

The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.

Then he measured its wall, 144 cubits according to human measurement, which the angel used.

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

And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
