1 Kings 6:15

¹ tn Heb “and Hiram gave to Solomon cedar wood and the wood of evergreens, all his desire.”

² tn The words “he also made” are added for stylistic reasons.

³ tc Heb “two of the leaves of the first door were folding, and two of the leaves of the second door were folding.” In the second half of the description, the MT has קְלָעִים (qÿla’im, “curtains”), but this is surely a corruption of צְלָעִים (tsÿla’im, “leaves”) which appears in the first half of the statement.

³ tn Heb “heard.”

⁴ tn Heb “I will satisfy all your desire with respect to cedar wood and with respect to the wood of evergreens.”

⁴ tc The MT reads קִירוֹת (qirot, “walls”), but this should be emended to קוֹרוֹת (qorot, “rafters”). See BDB 900 s.v. קוֹרָה.
