Und der Mann ging heraus gegen Morgen und hatte die Meßschnur in der Hand; und er maß tausend Ellen und führte mich durchs Wasser, das mir's an die Knöchel ging.
Y saliendo el varón hacia el oriente, tenía un cordel en su mano; y midió mil codos, e hízome pasar por las aguas hasta los tobillos.
El hombre salió hacia el este con un cordel en la mano. Midió unos quinientos treinta metros y me hizo pasar por el agua; el agua me llegaba a los tobillos.
Lorsque l'homme s'avança vers l'orient, il avait dans la main un cordeau, et il mesura mille coudées; il me fit traverser l'eau, et j'avais de l'eau jusqu'aux chevilles.
Quando quell’uomo uscì verso il Levante, egli avea in mano una cordicella, e misurò mille cubiti, e mi fece valicar quelle acque; ed esse mi giungevano solo alle calcagna.
E saiu aquele homem para o oriente, tendo na mão um cordel de medir; e mediu mil côvados, e me fez passar pelas águas, águas que me davam pelos artelhos.
他手拿繩子往東出去,量了一千肘,使我涉水而過,水到腳踝。
