2:1 The vision of Yerushalem expanded

2 Then I looked up, and wow, I saw a man holding a measuring line[fn] 2 and I asked him, “Where are you going?”

“To measure Yerushalem (Jerusalem),” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

3 Then to my surprise, the messenger who’d talked with me went away and another messenger went out to meet him 4 and told him, “Run and speak to that young man, saying: Yerushalem won’t need city walls because there’ll be so many people and animals within it. 5 Yahweh declares that he’ll become a wall of fire around it and will become the splendour in the middle of it.
