And there was given me a reed like unto a rod:
and the angel stood, saying, Rise,
and measure the temple of God,
and the altar,
and them that worship therein.
Revelation 11:1
Rev. 11:1 says to "measure" the 3 things cleansed on the day of atonement in Lev. 16

and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7:2)

because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel,

Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering,
that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail,

And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD,
and make an atonement for it;

And he said unto me,
Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
