1 tn Heb “and a porch for the throne, where he was making judicial decisions, the Porch of Judgment, he made.”
2 tc The Hebrew text reads, “from the floor to the floor.” The second occurrence of the term הַקַּרְקָע (haqqarqa’, “the floor”) is probably an error; one should emend to הַקּוֹרוֹת (haqqorot, “the rafters”). See 6:16.
3 tn Heb “according to the space of each.”
4 tn The precise meaning of this last word, translated “wreaths,” is uncertain.
