And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
And look, there's a wall around the house, and the man has a measuring stick that is 6 cubits long. He uses it to measure the width of the building - it's one unit long, and the height is also one unit.
