Stature
statur (, madh, , middah, measure (Num 13:32, etc.), , komah, standing up (1Sa 16:7, etc.); , helika, greatness): This last word means height of the body, stature, in Luk 2:52; Luk 19:3; Eph 4:13, but it can mean length of life equally well and has this force in Joh 9:21, Joh 9:23; Heb 11:11. And this meaning, not stature (as in the King James Version), is fixed for Mat 6:27 parallel Luk 12:25, for to add some 18 inches (see CUBIT) to one’s stature would be a grotesque feat, while it is the smallness of the act that is emphasized. Hence, the translation able to extend his long path of life by a single cubit (the Revised Version (British and American) measure of life). Compare also great of stature Baruch 3:26 (, eumegethes).
