qo.mah denotes a vertical measurement of structures and objects, and also the stature or loftiness of persons and trees.

The term most often specifies the vertical dimension of built objects, furnishings, and structures in measurements. It also describes the stature of a person or the elevated growth of trees, and in one narrative clause marks Saul as falling at his full bodily length.

1. Measured vertical dimension · dominant

   The construct form occurs in measurement statements for structures and objects: in Exodus 25:10 the APB renders the ark's dimensions with “its height a cubit and a half,” and in 1 Kings 6:2 it gives the house's final dimension as “thirty cubits in height.” In 1 Kings 7:16, two construct forms occur as each bronze capital is assigned five cubits; Ezekiel 40:5 likewise measures a wall's width and vertical dimension.

2. Stature or elevated growth · common

   With persons and trees, the term marks observable stature or vertical elevation rather than a cubit measurement. In 1 Samuel 16:7 the APB renders the clause “his lofty height”; in Ezekiel 31:5 a tree's height rises above the other trees, and Ezekiel 31:10 speaks of exalting oneself in height among the boughs.

3. Full bodily length in a fall · rare

   In 1 Samuel 28:20, the construct form occurs in the clause describing Saul's fall to the ground. The APB renders the action as falling “full length,” indicating his body extended on the ground.

   1 Samuel 28:20

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across measurement clauses, the APB commonly presents the term with “height” or “high.” In stature and narrative contexts it also uses “lofty height,” “height,” and “full length”; these are verse-level renderings rather than a word-by-word alignment.
