It has no measure

It has no measure

It has no precise quantity. By extension: its value cannot be estimated or quantified. Of the greatest worth.

("These are things that have no measure: the corner of the field, the first fruits, the pilgrimage, acts of loving-kindness, and Torah study"—Peah 1:1, and also: "Two coats for Sabbath, and above all—two cows and a pregnant heifer... and many other things that have no measure!"—Mendele Mocher Sforim / The Travels of Benjamin the Third I, 11, and also: "This extraordinary affection he shows me has no limit and no measure"—Sholem Aleichem / Advice, and also: "And because of their extraordinary holiness... for holiness has no measure"—Agnon / Only Yesterday, 227)
