Exegesis
The genitive pēchōn {πηχῶν | pē-khōn} ‘of cubits’ denotes the unit, while the accusative metron {μέτρον | mé-tron} ‘measure’ stands in apposition, clarified by the genitive anthrōpou {ἀνθρώπου | an-thrṓ-pou} ‘of a man’ to indicate a human standard.
Root and etymology
metréōmu, epsilon, tau, rho, epsilon, omega
“to measure, set a standard”
