== Measurement ==
Measurement is an essential component of technological development and requires its own forms of technology.
The Old Testament frequently warns against dishonest instruments or standards of measurement ([[Leviticus 19:35]] - [[Leviticus 19:36]], [[Deuteronomy 25:13]] - [[Deuteronomy 25:16]], [[Proverbs 11:1]], [[Proverbs 20:10]], [[Proverbs 20:23]], [[Amos 8:5]], [[Micah 6:11]]). Fair measurement is a pre-requisite for a just economy.
Measuring lines and plumb lines are mentioned in both literal and figurative contexts (e.g. [[2 Kings 21:13]], [[Isaiah 28:17]], [[Amos 7:7]] - [[Amos 7:8]], [[Revelation 11:1]])
The Bible records numerous census undertakings, including the Roman census that brought Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem ([[Luke 2:1]]).
All these forms of measurement highlight a mindset that values quantity over quality, which is a basic foundation for technical thought.
