² tn Or “exchange.” The LXX suggests a reading יִמַּד (yimmad) from מָדַד (madad, “to measure”). In this case one could translate, “the property of my people is measured out [i.e., for resale].”

¹ tc The MT reads, “their measuring line” (קוּם, qum). The noun קַו (qav, “measuring line”) makes no sense in this context. The reading קוֹלָם (qolam, “their voice”) which is supported by the LXX, is preferable.

⁴ tn Heb “10,000 cors of wheat and 10,000 of barley.” The unit of measure of the barley is omitted in the Hebrew text, but is understood to be “cors,” the same as the measures of wheat.

¹ tn Heb “60 cubits.” A cubit was a unit of measure roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 cm. Measurements in vv. 2-10 have been converted to feet in the translation for clarity.

¹ tn Heb “18 cubits.” A “cubit” was a unit of measure, approximately equivalent to a foot and a half.

² tn Heb “12 cubits.” A “cubit” was a unit of measure, approximately equivalent to a foot and a half.

¹ tn Heb “5 cubits.” A “cubit” was a unit of measure, approximately equivalent to a foot and a half.

² tn Heb “they look, so they are shocked.” Here כֵּן (ken, “so”) has the force of “in the same measure.”

¹ tn Heb “because you acted.” The psalmist has in mind God’s disciplinary measures (see vv. 10-13).

¹ tn Heb “Cause me to know, O Lord, my end; and the measure of my days, what it is!”

³ sn As a unit of dry measure a cor was roughly equivalent to six bushels (about 220 liters).

² tn Heb “and they caused the house of God to stand according to its measurements and they strengthened it.”

¹ sn As a unit of dry measure a cor was roughly equivalent to six bushels (about 220 liters).

¹ tn Heb “10 cubits” (a cubit was a unit of measure roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 cm).

¹ tn Heb “and the second cherub was 10 cubits, the two cherubim had one measurement and one shape.”

² sn The seah was a dry measure equal to one-third of an ephah, or not quite eleven quarts.

¹ tn Heb “But there should be a distance between you and it, about 2,000 cubits in measurement.”

¹ tn Heb “my traveling and my lying down you measure.” The verb זָרָה (zarah, “to measure”) is probably here a denominative from זֶרֶת (zeret, “a span; a measure”), though some derive it from זָרָה (zarat, “to winnow; to sift”; see BDB 279-80 s.v. זָרָה).

² tn Heb “which goes down in accordance with his measured things.” The Hebrew phrase מִדּוֹתָיו (middotayv, “his measured things”) refers here to the robes worn by Aaron. HALOT 546 s.v. *מַד derives the term from מַד (mad, “robe”) rather than מִדָּה (middah, “measured thing”). Ugaritic md means “robe” and is pluralized mdt.

⁴ tn Heb “and a measuring line went around it 30 cubits all around.” The measurements are an approximation. The LXX has the number 33. Neither fit a strict calculation of the diameter time pi, but the precise details of measuring (e.g. the width of the lip or other factors) are not known and numbers may be rounded.
