11:1 The instructions to measure the Temple are reminiscent of Ezekiel’s visions (see Ezek 40–42; 43:13-17). The Jerusalem Temple was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70; these details symbolize God’s precise knowledge of and care for his people who belong to him (cp. Rev 7:2-4; Zech 2:1-5).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐδόθη μοι κάλαμος ὅμοιος ῥάβδῳ λέγων
/was/_given ˱to˲_me /a/_rod similar ˱to˲_/a/_staff saying
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was Jesus, since the same person speaks of “my two witnesses” in verse 3. Alternate translation: “Jesus gave me a reed like a measuring rod and said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
κάλαμος ὅμοιος ῥάβδῳ
/a/_rod similar ˱to˲_/a/_staff
The point of this comparison is that this reed was long and straight and John could use it to mark off distances as he could with a measuring rod. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “a reed that was long and straight so that I could use it to mark off distances, as I could with a measuring rod”
