Vers. 17. And he measured the Wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four Cubits.
This measure of the Wall that here1 he maketh mention of, is also distinct from the former measure, where he is said to measure the City, Gates, and Wall; and it refers to such a Wall, or to such a part of the Wall in such a place: for I find that though the Wall of this City in general is that which shall encompass the New Jerusalem round; yet this Wall is ⟨p. 128⟩in some place, and for some reason, of another manner and measure than the Wall is in general, as it compasseth round the City; which part of the Wall is called the broad Wall, the Wall upon which even half of the People might walk complete at once, Neh. 3. 8. & 12. 38.
