NET Notes: 2Ch 3:3

¹ tn Heb “and these are the founding of Solomon to build the house of God.”

² tn Heb “the length [in] cubits by the former measure was sixty cubits, and a width of twenty cubits.” Assuming a length of 18 inches (45 cm) for the standard cubit, the length of the foundation would be 90 feet (27 m) and its width 30 feet (9 m).
