 * the first measure.
   It is supposed, with much probability, that the first measure
   means the cubit used in the time of Moses, contradistinguished
   from that used in Babylon, and which the Israelites used after
   their return from captivity:  and, as these Books were written
   after the captivity, it was necessary for the writer to make
   this remark, lest it should be thought that the measurement
   was by the Babylonish cubit, which was a palm or one-sixth
   shorter than the cubit of Moses; which may serve to reconcile
   some variations in the historical books, with respect to
   numbers when applied to measures.
