9771. 'The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits' means the good of that heaven, to the full. This is clear from the meaning of 'the length' as good, dealt with in 1613, 9487; from the meaning of 'the court' as the lowest heaven, dealt with in 9741; and from the meaning of 'a hundred' as to the full or what is complete, dealt with above in 9745.
