and they stretched-measured

Root	מדד (m-d-d)
Core Meanings	stretching, measuring, extending, apportioning by measure
Semantic Range	to measure length or distance, to apportion by measure, to survey territory, to determine extent, figuratively to allot or assign
Conceptual Significance	Measuring in the Hebrew Bible often signifies ordering, allocating inheritance, or defining sacred space. The act of stretching a measuring line symbolizes establishing boundaries, justice, and divine order.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ + Qal wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive) 3rd person common plural from מדד; narrative past action, "and they measured."
Rendering Rationale	The root מדד conveys the idea of stretching out a line in order to measure. Rendering it as "stretched-measured" preserves the physical imagery behind the act of measuring. The form is Qal with prefixed conjunction and 3rd person common plural, accurately reflected by "and they."
