2 Chronicles 5:3-14
men <0376> [Wherefore.]
festival <02282> [in the feast.]
That is, as the Targumist observes, in the feast of tabernacles, which was held in the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year, which was called Ethanim.
Levites <03881> [the Levites.]
Probably the Levites, of the family of Kohath, carried the ark into the courts of the temple; and then the priests conveyed it into its proper place.
tent ............... tent <0168> [the tabernacle.]
priests <03548> [the priests.]
inner sanctuary <01687> [to the oracle.]
poles <0905> [the staves.]
long <0748> [they drew.]
As the ark was no longer to be carried about, the staves were unnecessary.
ends <07218> [the ends.]
[there it is, or, they are there: as 1 Ki 8:8.]
day <03117> [unto this day.]
That is, the day when these events were recorded; not the day when these extracts were made, after the captivity, and consequently, long after the destruction of the temple.
ark <0727> [There was nothing.]
In the parallel passage in the Epistle to the Hebrews, it is expressly stated that in the ark were "the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;" but it is evident that the apostle speaks there of the tabernacle erected by Moses, and of the state and contents of that tabernacle in the time of Moses; and in the temple there were several things added, and several left out.
