“And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.”
The concluding promise that 'the measuring line shall go out further, straight to the hill Gareb' describes Jerusalem's expansion beyond its pre-exilic boundaries. The expansion of the city suggests that restoration brings not merely recovery of the past but enhancement and glorification.
