[6:17]  ¹ tn Heb “and the house was forty cubits, that is, the main hall before it.”

[6:33]  ² tn Heb “and so he did at the entrance of the main hall, doorposts of olive wood, from a fourth.”

[6:3]  ³ tn Heb “twenty cubits.”

[6:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “ten cubits.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he built on the wall of the temple an extension all around, the walls of the temple all around, for the main hall and for the holy place, and he made side rooms all around.”

[7:21]  ⁶ tn Or “south.”

[7:21]  ⁷ sn The name Jakin appears to be a verbal form and probably means, “he establishes.”

[7:21]  ⁸ tn Or “north.”

[7:21]  ⁹ sn The meaning of the name Boaz is uncertain. For various proposals, see BDB 126-27 s.v. בעז. One attractive option is to revocalize the name as בְּעֹז (be’oz, “in strength”) and to understand it as completing the verbal form on the first pillar. Taking the words together and reading from right to left, one can translate the sentence, “he establishes [it] in strength.”
