1 tc Heb “and the porch which was in front of the length corresponding to the width of the house, twenty cubits.” The phrase הֵיכַל הַבַּיִת (heykhal habbayit, “the main hall of the temple,” which appears in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 6:3) has been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton after עַל־פְּנֵי (’al-pÿney, “in front of”). Note that the following form, הָאֹרֶךְ (haorekh, “the length”), also begins with the Hebrew letter he (ה). A scribe’s eye probably jumped from the initial he on הֵיכַל to the initial he on הָאֹרֶךְ, leaving out the intervening letters in the process.

2 tc The Hebrew text has “one hundred and twenty cubits,” i.e. (assuming a cubit of 18 inches) 180 feet (54 m). An ancient Greek witness and the Syriac version read “twenty cubits,” i.e., 30 feet (9 m). It is likely that מֵאָה (meah, “a hundred”), is a corruption of an original אַמּוֹת (’ammot, “cubits”).

3 tn Heb “and the wing of the one (הָאֶחָד, haekhad, “the one”; this should probably be emended to הָאַחֵר, haakher, “the other”) cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing was five cubits, clinging to the wing of the other cherub.”

4 tn Heb “Because it was with your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was with your heart.”

5 tn Heb “about your words [or perhaps, “deeds”] and your wisdom.”

6 tn Heb “divided up,” but some read חִלֵּץ (khillets, “despoiled”).

7 tn Heb “of the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.”
