KJV
13The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
The word translated "compass" is mechugah — i.e. "circle maker" from the word for circle, chug. This helps us to read Isaiah 40:22 correctly, if there is any doubt.
