10:27 The king made silver as plentiful ¹⁰  in Jerusalem as stones; cedar was ¹¹  as plentiful as sycamore fig trees are in the lowlands. ¹² 

[6:10]  ¹ tn Heb “five cubits.” This must refer to the height of each floor or room.

[6:16]  ² tn Heb “He built twenty cubits from the rear areas of the temple with cedar planks from the floor to the walls, and he built it on the inside for an inner sanctuary, for a holy place of holy places.”

[6:16]  ³ tc The MT has קְלָעִים (qÿla’im, “curtains”), but this should be emended to קוֹרוֹת (qorot, “rafters”). See BDB 900 s.v. קוֹרָה.

[6:20]  ³ tn Heb “twenty cubits” (this measurement occurs three times in this verse).

[6:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “with plated gold” (or perhaps, “with pure gold”).

[6:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “he plated [the] altar of cedar.”

[7:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and a porch for the throne, where he was making judicial decisions, the Porch of Judgment, he made.”

[7:7]  ⁵ tc The Hebrew text reads, “from the floor to the floor.” The second occurrence of the term הַקַּרְקָע (haqqarqa’, “the floor”) is probably an error; one should emend to הַקּוֹרוֹת (haqqorot, “the rafters”). See 6:16.

[7:12]  ⁵ tn Or “the porch of the temple.”

[10:27]  ⁶ tn The words “as plentiful” are added for clarification.

[10:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “he made.”

[10:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah.”
