In a dream — and likewise the hand-span and measuring — it is travel, and the journey will be as long or as short as what he measured by cubit or span. Whoever measures a garment, a wall or a piece of land with his hand-span will travel to a village. If he measures land with his outstretched arms [fathoms], he will perform the pilgrimage, wage holy war, or travel a long journey. If he measures a quarter, a house, or a place he wants to live in by finger-joints, he will move to that place.
