1 map For location see Map2 B1; Map4 D3; Map5 E2; Map6 A4; Map7 C1. 2 tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 150 pounds of silver. 3 tn Heb “he built up the hill.” |
