Absolute noun forms accompany numerical measurements: in Exodus 25:10 the APB renders the ark's length, width, and height; in 1 Kings 7:23 it renders the cast sea's span, height, and surrounding line. The same measured use describes Goliath's height in 1 Samuel 17:4 and the breached length of Jerusalem's wall in 2 Kings 14:13.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the measurement with “cubits,” including dimensions of buildings and objects, height, and “a distance of four hundred cubits” in 2 Kings 14:13. These renderings confirm the verse-level measurement context rather than isolating every individual token.
