1 Kings 7:10-11

Context
7:10 The foundation was made of large valuable stones, measuring either 15 feet or 12 feet. 1  7:11 Above the foundation 2  the best 3  stones, chiseled to the right size, 4  were used along with cedar.

1 tn Heb “stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits” (it is unclear exactly what dimension is being measured). If both numbers refer to the length of the stones (cf. NCV, CEV, NLT), then perhaps stones of two different sizes were used in some alternating pattern.

2 tn Heb “on top,” or “above.”

3 tn Or “valuable” (see 5:17).

4 tn Heb “according to the measurement of chiseled [stone].”
