   It is certainly most obvious to interpret these measures, not
   of cubits, but of the measuring reed which the prophet's
   conductor had in his hand; according to which, the city would
   be about thirty-six miles in circumference, and nine miles on
   each side of the square; which was nearly nine times larger
   than the greatest extent to which Jerusalem ever attained,
   (See on ver. 15; ch. 42:16.)  The large dimensions of the city
   and land were perhaps intended to intimate the extensive and
   glorious propagation of the gospel in the times predicted; and
   the land was not called Canaan, nor the city Jerusalem,
   probably because they were figurative of spiritual blessings
   to the church and to Israel.
