KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Then he measured the wall — it was 144 cubits thick, using human measurements (which is apparently how angels measure things too).
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even in heaven's perfect city, God speaks our language and uses measurements we can actually understand.
