¹ tn Heb “sixty cubits.” A cubit was a unit of measure roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 cm. Measurements in vv. 2-10 have been converted to feet in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “twenty cubits.”

³ tn Heb “thirty cubits.”

⁴ tn Heb “two capitals he made to place on the tops of the pillars, cast in bronze; five cubits was the height of the first capital, and five cubits was the height of the second capital.”

⁵ tn Heb “the capitals which were on the top of the pillars were the work of lilies, in the porch, four cubits.” It is unclear exactly what dimension is being measured.

⁶ tn Heb “and the same thing he did for all his foreign wives, [who] were burning incense and sacrificing to their gods.”
