Exodus 28:10

Context
28:10 six 5  of their names on one stone, and the six remaining names on the second stone, according to the order of their birth. 6 

1 tn The article on this word identifies this as the altar, meaning the main high altar on which the sacrifices would be made.

2 tn The dimensions are five cubits by five cubits by three cubits high.

3 tn Heb “four”; this refers to four sides. S. R. Driver says this is an archaism that means there were four equal sides (Exodus, 291).

4 tn Heb “and three cubits its height.”

5 tn This is in apposition to the direct object of the verb “engrave.” It further defines how the names were to be engraved – six on one and the other six on the other.

6 tn Heb “according to their begettings” (the major word in the book of Genesis). What is meant is that the names would be listed in the order of their ages.
