2 tn Heb “20,000 baths” (also a second time later in this verse). A bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons (about 22 liters), so this was a quantity of about 120,000 gallons (440,000 liters).
3 tn Heb “made.”
4 tn Heb “carriers of loads.”
5 tn Or “quarry workers”; Heb “cutters” (probably referring to stonecutters).
