¹ tn Heb “sixty cubits.” A cubit was a unit of measure roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 cm. Measurements in vv. 2-10 have been converted to feet in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “twenty cubits.”

³ tn Heb “thirty cubits.”

⁴ tn Heb “five cubits.” This must refer to the height of each floor or room.

⁷ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (this measurement occurs three times in this verse).

⁸ tn Heb “with plated gold” (or perhaps, “with pure gold”).

⁹ tn Heb “he plated [the] altar of cedar.”
