[3:8]  ¹ tn Heb “the house of the holy place of holy places.”

[3:8]  ² tn Heb “twenty cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), this would give a length of 30 feet (9 m).

[3:8]  ³ tc Heb “twenty cubits.” Some suggest adding, “and its height twenty cubits” (see 1 Kgs 6:20). The phrase could have been omitted by homoioteleuton.

[3:8]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “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, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the gold plating was 40,380 lbs. (18,360 kg).

[5:7]  ⁵ tn The word “assigned” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[7:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “for my name to be there perpetually [or perhaps, “forever”].”

[7:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “and my eyes and my heart will be there all the days.”

[30:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “and it was heard with their voice.” BDB 1034 s.v. שָׁמַע Niph.4 interprets this to mean “hearing was granted to their voice.” It is possible that the name יְהוָה (yÿhvah, “the Lord”) has been accidentally omitted.

[35:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.”

[36:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”
