[6:9]  1 tn Heb “ built the house and completed it.”

[6:9]  2 tn Heb “the house.”

[6:9]  3 tn The word occurs only here; the precise meaning is uncertain.

[6:9]  4 tn Heb “and rows with cedar wood.”

[6:38]  5 sn In the month Bul. This would be October-November 959 b.c. in modern reckoning.

[6:38]  6 tn Heb “he built it in seven years.”

[7:47]  7 sn See 1 Kgs 8:1-21.

[7:48]  8 sn The title the Most High points to God’s majesty (Heb 7:1; Luke 1:32, 35; Acts 16:7).

[7:48]  9 sn The phrase made by human hands is negative in the NT: Mark 14:58; Acts 17:24; Eph 2:11; Heb 9:11, 24. It suggests “man-made” or “impermanent.” The rebuke is like parts of the Hebrew scripture where the rebuke is not of the temple, but for making too much of it (1 Kgs 8:27; Isa 57:15; 1 Chr 6:8; Jer 7:1-34).
