2 Chronicles 5:9
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.
Joshua 4:9
set up twelve <06965 08147> [set up twelve.]
day <03117> [and they are there.]
These words might be written by Joshua at the close of his life, or perhaps be added by some later prophet. It seems from this verse, that there were two sorts of stones erected as a memorial of this great event: twelve at Gilgal (ver. 20,) and twelve in the bed of the Jordan; which last might have been placed on a base of strong stone work, so high as always to be visible, and serve to mark the very spot where the priests stood with the ark. Drs. Kennicott and Shuckford, however, would read here with the Syriac, {mittoch,} "from the midst," instead of {bethoch,} "in the midst;" and render, "And Joshua took up the twelve stones (taken) from the midst of Jordan," etc. But this reading is unsupported by any MS. yet collated; and it appears wholly unnecessary.
Ezra 9:7
days ........ day ..................................... time <03117> [Since the days.]
iniquities <05771> [for our iniquities.]

embarrassment <01322> [to confusion.]
days ........ day ..................................... time <03117> [as it is this day.]
