2 Chronicles 3:1--4:22
Solomon <08010> [A.M. 2993. B.C. 1011. An. Ex. Is. 480. Solomon.]
Mount Moriah <02022 04179> [in mount Moriah.]
appeared ..... David ....... David <07200 01732> [where the Lord appeared unto David. or, which was seen of]
David. Ornan.
[Araunah.]
second ..... second <08145> [in the second.]
Solomon <08010> [A.M. 2993-3000. B.C. 1011-1004. Solomon.]
foundation <03245> [instructed. Heb. founded. The length.]
old standard ... measure <04060 07223> [the first measure.]
It is supposed, with much probability, that the first measure means the cubit used in the time of Moses, contradistinguished from that used in Babylon, and which the Israelites used after their return from captivity: and, as these Books were written after the captivity, it was necessary for the writer to make this remark, lest it should be thought that the measurement was by the Babylonish cubit, which was a palm or one-sixth shorter than the cubit of Moses; which may serve to reconcile some variations in the historical books, with respect to numbers when applied to measures.
porch <0197> [the porch.]
30 feet .............. 30 feet <06242 03967> [an hundred and twenty.]
As the height of the temple was only thirty cubits, 120 seems too great a height for the porch; but the Syriac, Arabic, and the LXX. in the codex Alexandrinus, have only twenty, probably reading, instead of {maiah weesrim,} "one hundred and twenty," {ammoth esrim,} "twenty cubits;" which brings it within the proportion of the other measures.
boards <01419> [the greater.]
decorated <06823> [garnished. Heb. covered. precious.]
Parvaim <06516> [Parvaim.]
Parvaim is supposed by Calmet to be the same as Sepharvaim in Armenia or Media; Bochart is of opinion that it is Taprobanes, now the island of Ceylon, which he drives from {taph,} a border, and Parvan, i.e., "the coast of Parvan;" but the late Editor of Calmet thinks it the same as the Parvatoi mountains of Ptolemy, at the head of the Indus.
overlaid <02645> [overlaid.]
decorative cherubim <03742 06605> [graved cherubims.]
most holy place <06944> [the most holy.]
two .... cherubim <08147 03742> [two cherubims.]
made ... images <04639 06816> [image work. or, as some think, of movable work.]

curtain <06532> [the vail.]
embroidered <05927> [wrought. Heb. caused to ascend.]
two pillars <08147 05982> [two pillars.]
52½ feet <07970> [thirty.]
The Syriac and Arabic have, agreeably to the parallel passage, "eighteen cubits high;" but the Septuagint, Chaldee, and Vulgate have "thirty and five cubits high." See the Note on 1 Ki 7:15.
length <0753> [high. Heb. long.]
ornamental chains ...................... chains <08333> [chains.]
one hundred <03967> [an hundred.]
set up <06965> [reared up.]
Jachin <03199> [Jachin. that is, He shall establish. Boaz. that is, In it is strength.]
altar <04196> [an altar.]
big ... basin .... Sea <03332 03220> [a molten sea.]
rim ... rim <08193> [brim to brim. Heb. his brim to his brim.]
Images <01823> [And under.]
bulls .................. bulls <01241> [oxen.]
In the parallel passage of Kings, instead of {bekarim,} "oxen," we have {peka‹m,} "knops," in the form of colocynths. (See on 1 Ki 6:18, and 2 Ki 4:39;) which last is supposed by able critics to be the reading which ought to received be here; {bekarim,} "oxen," being a mistake for {peka‹m,} "knops." Houbigant, however, contends that the words in both places are right; but that {bakar} does not signify an ox here, but a large kind of grape, according to its meaning in Arabic. But Dr. A. Clarke states that {bakar,} or {bakarat,} has no such meaning in Arabic, though the phrase {aino 'lbikri,} or "ox-eye," signifies a species of black grape, very large, and of incredible sweetness; that consequently the criticism of this great man is not solid; and that the likeliest method of reconciling the two places is to suppose a change in the letters as above.
stood <05975> [It stood.]
Three .... three ... three .... three <07969> [three.]
lily blossom <06525 07799> [with flowers of lilies. or, like a lily flower. three thousand baths.]
In the parallel passage, it is said to hold only two thousand baths; which some think may be reconciled by supposing that the quantity of water which was commonly in it was 2,000 baths, but that, if filled up to the top, it would hold 3,000. But, as we have already seen that the Babylonish cubit was less than that of the ancient Hebrews, it might be the same with measures of capacity; so that 2,000 of the ancient Jewish baths might have been equal to 3,000 of those used after the captivity. The Targum cuts the knot: "It received 3,000 baths of dry measure, and held 2,000 of liquid measure." See 1 Ki 7:26.

items .... burnt sacrifices <05930 04639> [such things as they offered for the burnt offering. Heb. the work of burnt offering.]

inner sanctuary <01687> [the oracle.]
flower-shaped <06525> [the flowers.]
Probably each branch of the chandelier was made like a plant in flower; and the opening of the flower was either the lamp, or served to support it.
pure gold <02091 04357> [perfect gold. Heb. perfections of gold.]
That is, the purest and best gold.
trimming <04212> [snuffers.]
basins <04219> [basons. or, bowls. the entry.]
Capellus and others suppose we should read, agreeably to 1 Ki 7:50, "The hinges also of the doors of the inner house," etc.; the word {pothoth,} "hinges," being mistaken for {paithach,} "an entry" or "door-way."

Of the two burying-places of the patriarchs, one was at Hebron, the cave and field which Abraham purchased of Ephron the Hittite, (Ge 23:16, etc.); the other in Sychem, which Jacob (not Abraham) bought of the sons of Emmor, (Ge 33:19.) To remove this glaring discrepancy, Markland interprets [para <\\See definition 3844\\>,] from, as it frequently signifies with a genitive, and renders, "And were carried over to Sychem; and afterwards from among the descendants of Emmor, the father, or son, of Sychem, they were laid in the sepulchre which Abraham bought for a sum of money." This agrees with the account which Josephus gives of the patriarchs; that they were carried out of Egypt, first to Sychem, and then to Hebron, where they were buried.
