2 Y le dije: ¿Adónde vas? Y me respondió: A medir a Jerusalén para ver cuánta es su anchura y cuánta su longitud.

Zacarías 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 2:2

Then said I, Whither goest thou?
&c.] As it showed great freedom and boldness in the prophet to put such a question to the man with the measuring reed, it was great condescension in him to return him an answer, as follows: and he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem;
not literally understood, which was not yet thoroughly built; but the Gospel church, often so called; see ( Hebrews 12:22 ) and this measuring of it denotes the conformity of it to the rule of God's word; a profession of the true doctrines of it, and an observance of the ordinances of it, as delivered in it; and an agreement of the walk, life, and conversation of its members with it: to see what [is] the breadth thereof, and what [is] the length
thereof;
the length of the New Jerusalem is as large as the breadth; its length, breadth, and height, are equal, ( Revelation 21:16 ) .

1 Entonces alcé los ojos y miré, y he aquí, vi un hombre con un cordel de medir en la mano.

2 Y le dije: ¿Adónde vas? Y me respondió: A medir a Jerusalén para ver cuánta es su anchura y cuánta su longitud.

3 Y he aquí, cuando el ángel que hablaba conmigo salía, otro ángel le salió al encuentro,

4 y le dijo: Corre, habla a ese joven, y dile: "Sin muros será habitada Jerusalén, a causa de la multitud de hombres y de ganados dentro de ella.

5 "Y yo seré para ella"declara el SEÑOR "una muralla de fuego en derredor, y gloria seré en medio de ella."
