The concept of a line can be both literal and metaphorical, serving as a tool for understanding God's order and justice.<br><br>1. <b>Measurement and Construction</b>: The line is frequently associated with measurement, particularly in the context of construction and architecture. In the building of the temple, the use of a line signifies precision and divine order. In <a href="/1_kings/7-23.htm">1 Kings 7:23</a>, the construction of the bronze sea by Solomon's craftsmen is described: "He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it." Here, the line is a tool for ensuring the accuracy and symmetry of sacred structures.<br><br>2. <b>Boundary and Inheritance</b>: Lines also denote boundaries, often related to the division of land among the tribes of Israel. In <a href="/joshua/17-5.htm">Joshua 17:5</a>, the allocation of land is described: "Thus ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan." The use of lines in this context underscores the importance of order and fairness in the distribution of the Promised Land, reflecting God's covenantal promises to His people.<br><br>3. <b>Justice and Righteousness</b>: Metaphorically, the line represents God's standard of justice and righteousness. In <a href="/isaiah/28-17.htm">Isaiah 28:17</a>, the prophet declares, "I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place." Here, the line is a divine standard against which human actions are measured, emphasizing the moral and ethical dimensions of God's law.<br><br>4. <b>Prophetic Symbolism</b>: The line is also used in prophetic visions to convey messages of judgment or restoration. In <a href="/amos/7-7.htm">Amos 7:7-8</a>, the Lord shows Amos a vision: "This is what He showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb, with a plumb line in His hand. 'What do you see, Amos?' He asked. 'A plumb line,' I replied. Then the Lord said, 'Behold, I am setting a plumb line among My people Israel; I will no longer spare them.'" The plumb line symbolizes God's impending judgment, highlighting the need for repentance and alignment with His will.<br><br>5. <b>Lineage and Descent</b>: The concept of a line is also significant in terms of lineage and descent, particularly in the genealogies that trace the ancestry of key biblical figures. These lines of descent are crucial for understanding the fulfillment of God's promises through generations, culminating in the lineage of Jesus Christ as outlined in the Gospels.<br><br>In summary, the term "line" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from the practical aspects of measurement and boundary-setting to the profound spiritual implications of justice, righteousness, and divine judgment. Each usage reflects the broader themes of order, covenant, and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In <a href="/psalms/19-4.htm">Psalm 19:4</a> (qaw, "Their line is gone out through all the earth"), the reference is probably still to measurement (the heaven as spanning and bounding the earth), though the Septuagint, followed by <a href="/romans/10-18.htm">Romans 10:18</a>, takes it as meaning a musical cord phthoggos). The "line," as measure, suggests rule of conduct (<a href="/isaiah/28-10.htm">Isaiah 28:10</a>). For "line" in <a href="/isaiah/44-13.htm">Isaiah 44:13</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) reads "pencil," margin "red ochre" (seredh), and in <a href="/2_corinthians/10-16.htm">2 Corinthians 10:16</a>, "province," margin "limit" (kanon).<br><br>See also <a href="../m/measuring.htm">MEASURING LINE</a>; <a href="../w/weights.htm">WEIGHTS AND MEASURES</a>.<br><br>James Orr<p><span class="encheading">MEASURING LINE</span><p>(qaw, qeweh): The usual meaning is simply line, rope or cord, in <a href="/isaiah/28-10.htm">Isaiah 28:10, 13</a>, but the line was used for measurement, as is evident from such passages as <a href="/1_kings/7-23.htm">1 Kings 7:23</a> <a href="/job/38-5.htm">Job 38:5</a> <a href="/jeremiah/31-39.htm">Jeremiah 31:39</a>.
